Promise Lyrics

And meet me there, bundles of flowers
We wait through the hours of cold
Winter shall howl at the walls
Tearing down doors of time
Shelter as we go

And promise me this
You'll wait for me only
Scared of the lonely arms
Surface, far below these burn
And maybe, just maybe I'll come home

Who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?
Going to tell you stories of mine
Who am I?

Who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
Could be a burden in time, lonely
Who am I, to you?

Who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
Going to be a burden
Who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?

I come alone here
I come alone here

What is the Meaning of Promise?

In the icy grasp of winter’s embrace, Ben Howard's poetic musings unravel the soul's deepest insecurities. This ethereal ballad speaks of fragile promises forged amidst cold winds and the passage of time. With a voice both aching and tender, the artist weaves a tapestry of both hope and doubt. The imagery of flowers and burning surfaces beneath captures the contrast of beauty and pain, moments frozen in time. At its core, it’s a heartfelt exploration of identity and worth—pondering who we are to our loved ones, the weight of loneliness, and the longing for connection. Howard's haunting repetition of the question, "Who am I?" reverberates like an echo in a cold, empty room, underscoring the vulnerable uncertainty we all face. His promise is a longing to return to love, but the path back is laden with self-doubt and the fear of becoming a burden. Embrace the chill, and let Howard guide you through the shadows of existential contemplation.
