"The Promise" lyrics

The Promise               nanci hobson June 2011

 

G    C    D 

                   G           D

There is a rose in a bed of thorns

             C               G

And it longs to be not alone

                    G                   D              C

Would you bleed for the touch of it

                                    G

Would you bleed for love

             G                     D

I don’t know but I’d like to try

                   C           G

To touch love….. just one time

              G                      D

As the world takes another turn

       C                             G

So much of me grows old….

C                                           G

….No bird would fly at all

C                                  D

….  If it was afraid to fall

                      C                          D         

so take my hand I’ll close my eyes

                  G                  Em

if you promise just to hold me tight

          C     D                    G     C     D

no I wont …be afraid at all…

             G                      D

Maybe you could try….to teach me…

             C                        G

Maybe I could try ….      To believe

                              D

There are wings inside of me

                  C                      G

That have never ………. flown

                G           D

I’ve got time that is too much

                  C               G

I’’ve got hands that want to touch

                  G          D           

And I’m tired of making up

          C         G

My mind alone….

(REPEAT CHORUS, AND LAST THREE LINES TWICE…)

About my song

Not sure where this song came from, it just came to me one night, after midnight.
