Promise Lyrics - David Sylvian

The silence of the park 

The moonshine after dark 

Came to keep her company 

The tiny golden cross lay upon her throat 

Hands clutching tight her rosary 

The rain upon her lips 

Eyes opened with a kiss 

Just too late for us to see 

She sits upon the ground 

Face covered by a shroud of midnight canopy 

And when the lightning starts 

The secrets in her heart 

Merge within the rain patterns 

And when the shadows fall 

The promise of it all is lost inside the tears that linger on 

All the things we'd hoped 

Would always keep us close 

Stand between us now, as fences 

The letters that we wrote 

Have all gone up in smoke 

And now you're just too far to listen in
