Promises Like Pie-Crust

Promise me no promises, so
Will I not promise you
Keep we both our liberties
Never false and never true
Let us hold the die uncast
Free to come as free to go
For I cannot know your past
And of mine, what can you know?
Hmm...
You so warm may once have been warmer
Towards another one
I so cold may once have seen sunlight Once have felt the sun
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old?
Fades the image from the glass
And the fortune is not told
Hmm...
If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were
Nothing more but nothing less
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess
Hmm, promise me no promises
Well promise me no promises, so
Will I not promise you
Keep we both our liberties
Never false and never true
Let us hold the die uncast
Free to come as free to go
For I cannot know your past
And of mine, what can you know?
Hmm...
If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were
Nothing more, nothing less
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess
Hmm, promises like pie crust
