Songtexte: Peter La Grand. Promises.

:
They said she did not suffer at all

I did not know what to say

I just saw her stand outside the door

Get onto her bicycle and ride away



The leaves were still falling off the tree

I said thanks a lot

I'll see you next week

When you get back

To town

I'm not much of a lover but neither was she

We held each other just long enough to be

Considered an item by neighbors and friends

But promises were never made then

And it was never everything

But it was enough in the silence of morning

To lie and watch the colors turn



I'd like to cry but I'm a hard hearted man

I would promise anything to see her riding back again



Now it is cold much of the time

That tree is naked to the wind

And the snow falls around

Muting all the world

I cannot sleep without her here

I cannot sleep without her here

I cannot sleep without her here

So I lie and watch the stars slowly fade
