Peter La Grand - Promises lyrics

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
