Promises (Live)

Promises you made to me

You said the rivers and the trees

Would fill our pockets and our plates

Promises you made

You said the birds would blanket us

You said the world was generous

And wouldn't turn its back on us

The river froze

The trees were bare

And all the birds, they disappeared

So me too

I flew away

From promises you made

Promises you made to me

You said that you would stay with me

Whatever weather came our way

Promises you made

We would walk side by side

Through all the seasons of our lives

Beneath any sky

Down any road

Any way the wind blows

I have no ring for your finger

I have no banquet table to lay

I have no bed of feathers

Whatever promises I made

Can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below

But I'll walk with you, my love

Any way the wind blows

I don't need gold, don't need silver

Just bread when I'm hungry, fire when I'm cold

Don't need a ring for my finger

Just need a steady hand to hold

Don't promise me fair sky above

Don't promise me kind road below

Just walk with me, my love

Any way the wind blows

I don't know where this road will end

But I'll walk with you into the wind

I can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below

But I'll walk with you, my love

Any way the wind blows

Do you let me walk with you?

I do

I do

I do

And keep on walking, come what will

I will

I will

We will
