Stephen Bishop - Promise Me The World lyrics
Your rating:
Tattered sky leaves on stone Candle at her feet And a heart of clay When the flesh is weak She became a pawn to sorrow A child without a name For another love For another fool to blame So they give in to her "eyes of love" Fingers on her skin they give her anything she wants But she says, "Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all" Years before she loved a young man Who betrayed her with a kiss He took her down Where lovers drown Now all she wants is everything Everything you got You think it's love But it's not Stand tall like the rest who loved her And paid for tenderness, she'll hurt you to survive.. But she says, "Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all" "Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all Promise me the world Or give me nothing at all" A house in Rome Servants at her back and call A trail of roses Everywhere she walks She'd sell her soul Just to feel the warmth of fortune Words fall silent But fat wallets talk Satin sheets Drinks at Harry's bar in Venice French riviera The Hamptons in July Jewels for her fingers Fashion from Milan Black limousines For when she says goodbye
