Promise Me

Promise Me (Brian Peters) EXPLICIT

It's hard to believe

Takes courage of man to admit it

There's a memory within me

The sound of your name recalls it

We're living in days

Dancing too close to the heat

There's pockets of fires

Scattered all over the streets

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

They tied up the servant

They killed the messenger

Made a home explosive

Marked it ‘return to sender’

There’s a crack in the conscience

A finger of light in the skies

There’s bug on your telephone

Your windows are full of eyes

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

It’s the day of the aliens

Night of the UFOs

They took all the war brides

The baby boomer girls

There’s halls of illusion

Perverted sex on the screen

Young minds in confusion

Old men with adolescent dreams

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

The prophet is dishonoured

Especially in his own home

I’ve been reading Borges

Listening to Leonard Cohen

There’s sex on the telephone

A hundred iniquity dens

But the women are sexless

There are no real men

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

There’s blood on the doorposts

The angel of death is near

Speak softly, darling

Even the walls have ears

There’s a place in the hills

It’s like the top of Masada

It’s the gateway to paradise

Or the scene of a murder

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Well, the world’s getting smaller

It’s like a one horse town

But the circle gets faster

As it spirals down

And the more things are changing

The more they are the same

And I sound like my daddy

I guess he felt the same

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

Promise me baby

You won't let another come between our love

Promise me baby

You won't imprison the dove

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Promise me baby

Promise me baby
