Eleanor McEvoy - Promises We Keep Lyrics

Sleeping close in sweetness
Intimate in doubt
A little piece of rope around
To stop us falling out
And through the closed curtains
A copper-coloured light
And wine glasses
From last night

[Chorus]
Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep?
Is it so forgotten
Like the promises we keep?
Like the promises we keep
Like the promises we keep
I feel so broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel...

Cigarette smoke, drifting up
To hanging plants behind
Particles of honesty
And tenderness entwined
Things with you are different now
And I can feel the strain
What is it that protects you from this pain?

[Chorus]

With the days that lie ahead me
I'm hungry to remain
Still, I know it's best to go
'Cause nothing's going to change
Eyes that held so much for me
Are holding things from me now
Like the harmonies
That life will not allow

[Chorus]
