Don't Make Promises Songtext
von Jan Johnston

I don′t need much, not really
Just walking and talking and being free, just being me
And I think about nothing, really
Just silly things of god and war
Say you mustn't touch me, you mustn′t reach
It's another road, it's not for keeps
Too much time has passed between
Sands of time have covered me

Don′t make promises
That you won′t keep
Life is long and the hurt is deep
Don't make promises
You won′t keep


You paint the picture perfect
With pastures green and things I need
And it seems my search can never end
For peace of mind and truth of friends
An older glance, it reads it all
Sorry, but the curtain's fallen
Nothing spoken, nothing said
And no one smiled, but something′s dead

Don't make promises
That you won′t keep
Life is long and the hurt is deep
Don't make promises
That you won't keep

Don′t tell lies, don′t disguise
Call me
I'm lying on my covered bed
As I turn, the sky is red
Colors knock me to the floor
Nothing′s changed, I've learned once more
I couldn′t change what's gone before
It′s not to be, so close the door
The winds of change will blow once more
Time can heal this hurting soul


Don't make promises
That you won't keep
Life is long and the hurt is deep
Don′t make promises
You won′t keep

Don't make promises you′ll never keep
