Promises, promises
Little child
Little darling
Oh, love
Don't waste it
Don't decay

Promises, promises
Speak!
Dream!
Sleep!
Awaken!
You are never
Gone without me

Promises, promises
Light of the night
Dusk of the day
Whither in my right
Before the end of this play

Promises, promises
Consume it all
Vomit it all
Emptiness we held to
While the others sang

Promises, promises
Not all is lost
Find the key
Unlock the door
Find your strength
Break that wall

Promises, promises
Fear not
Let go
Sing the truth

Now cry

Promises, promises
