Promises Lyrics - Steve Harley

True romance in the dead otf the night 

The breeze in the air, it almost glistens 

And the earth is a glorious sight 

When nobody speaks and nobody listens 

You're gonna have a night to remember 

You're gonna be real, live, hot contender 

Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth 

Cold coffee in the china 

Friends talking in the dead of the night 

Promises, it's always the way 

Promises, it's always the way 

Running off by the light of the moon 

The hand on your heart is almost hidden 

You try from your favorite room 

To get at the truth but it's forbidden 

You've never been a shoulder to cry on 

The lover's pledge is not to be relied on 

Sleep talking in the dead of the night 

Cold coffee in the china 

Friends talking in the dead of the night 

Promises, it's always the way 

Promises, it's always the way 

Old friends in a sepia frame 

The proud photograph, the truth it measures 

Is why in humanity's name 

You take from the wounded personal treasures 

You've never been a friend to depend on 

You've never understood my view of heaven 

Sleep talking in the dead of the night 

Cold coffee in the china 

Friends talking in the dead of the night 

Promises, it's always the way 

Promises, it's always the way 

[Repeat first verse]
