Steve Harley - Promises lyrics

True romance in the dead otf the night The breeze in the air, it almost glistens And the earth is a glorious sight When nobody speaks and nobody listens You're gonna have a night to remember You're gonna be real, live, hot contender Sleeptalking in the dead of the nigth Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way Running off by the light of the moon The hand on your heart is almost hidden You try from your favorite room To get at the truth but it's forbidden You've never been a shoulder to cry on The lover's pledge is not to be relied on Sleep talking in the dead of the night Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way Old friends in a sepia frame The proud photograph, the truth it measures Is why in humanity's name You take from the wounded personal treasures You've never been a friend to depend on You've never understood my view of heaven Sleep talking in the dead of the night Cold coffee in the china Friends talking in the dead of the night Promises, it's always the way Promises, it's always the way [Repeat first verse]
