Promise Songtext

von Origa

A new day comes and keeps your shadow on the bed until evening
You diappear until eight PM taking the metro and taxis, until evening
Meetings in the morning, business meetings and conferences until evening
I get used to your telephone calls, apologies and delays until evening

I wanted to fly to the clouds with you for dates
But to beckon me is only the promise that I hear from you
Promises, promises, promises
Only promises

You bring me flowers and make excuses, kissing my hand, until evening
And when you come home the silent telephone revives until evening
Your notebook and timetable are full for the next ten days until evening
And again the computer screen doesn't leave any time for family dramas until evening

I wanted to fly to the clouds with you for dates
But to beckon me is only the promise that I hear from you
Promises, promises, promises
Only promises

Morning will bring the sunrise repeating a new day, like an entire century, until evening
Only in the chaos of the daily routrine I stay to be your captive until evening

If only I could catch your glance, I would tell you again...

I wanted to fly to the clouds with you for dates
But to beckon me is only the promise that I hear from you

I wanted to fly to the clouds with you for dates
But to beckon me is only the promise that I hear from you
Promises, promises, promises
Only promises
