Love Made a Promise lyrics

Beached by the same tide when we met

Caught in a storm when we came together

I never needed someone like I needed you back then

I swear I believed it

I never lied to you

When I said what I said

I think you know it's the end of the story

You've been crying in your sleep

Time is the judge, tears are the jury

We've got to make that bitter leap

Love made a promise

Love made a promise

Time couldn't keep

We run from the truth

But we end up nowhere

And everyone knows you can't run forever

It seems that just wanting something

Don't mean it's gonna be

We played by the rules

But times made liers of you and me

I think you know it's the end of the story

You've been crying in your sleep

Time is the judge, tears are the jury

We've got to make that bitter leap

Love made a promise

Love made a promise

Love made a promise

Time couldn't keep

So we find another way

To get through another night

And we spend the whole night dreaming

Another day will find a way to make it alright

Time is the judge, tears are the jury

We've got to make that bitter leap

Love made a promise

Love made a promise (I said)

Love made a promise

Love made a promise (I said)

Love made a promise
