The Levellers
A Promise
This place looks familiar, they always are
Came here again to meet you, forgotten star
What's that can I hear you talking? What's that you say?
Every cloud has a silver lining, come on mate!

And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think
There's always a promise in this last drink
This last drink

We've met so many places, we've always danced
Then every morning after, left in a trance
You know if we keep on meeting you'll take my soul
Let's make this our last greeting, cause I must go

And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think
There's always a promise in this last drink
This last drink

This time I really mean it, it's over now
Last night we both went too far - you know how
Today I'm left staring the thousand yards
Today I know you promised the house of cards

And I love it when you whisper to me...
There's always a promise in the dreams that you think
There's always a promise in this last drink
This last drink
