Promises (as The Years Go By) Lyrics - Iq

Stay awhile, when I'm not alone 

I forget all the anger in me 

Kiss a tear when the hammer falls 

They're holding me here in never ending circles 

I can still remember summer madness 

I can taste the perfume on your cheek 

The heat is overcome by coldness, how 

Consoling words are insignificant 

Say you'll pray 

Justify the actions 

These are days of the mob-rule, sharp tongue, curfew 

When the mind is in solitary confinement 

Makes the mood that breaks you 

There's a spirit seeking liberation 

Here's a fire with a hungry heart 

If I listen maybe, time will tell me 

The reasons why we're torn apart 

As the years go by 

Don't make any false promises 

As the years go by 

Say you'll pray 

Here the silence is too loud 

In a steel barred jail on the other side 

We invented the differences 

That weaved the web with which we lied 

Caught in the middle of a cold war zone 

I left my lover in a far-off place 

She'll kiss a tear when the hammer's falling 

And wipe the darkness from my face 

As the years go by 

Don't make any false promises 

As the years go by 

Just say you'll pray
