“Promise Me a Sunset.”

8-14-08

In the core of my heart you’ll find regret.

Quiet the noise & listen to the song.

Selifish doing gone unpunished.

You’re air is too pure for me to breathe,

I cannot risk my life.

There’s never enough hours in the day. 

Oh but I will never miss a sunset.

Refusing to take advantage of you.

I reject your forgiveness.

Oh I’ll pretend my sin doesn’t exist for now…

I’m only human.  I’m only human.

There’s never enough hours in the day. 

Oh but I will never miss a sunset.

Still you stroke my hair and kiss my cheek. 

Show me your beauty and I’ll be on time.

Promise me a sunset & I swear I’ll come back to you.
