A Promise Lyrics
you said something will change
we were all dressed up
somewhere to go
no sign of rain
but something will change
you promised
you said nothing will change
we were almost near
almost far
down came the rain
and nothing will change
you promised
a promise
a promise
a promise
it's exactly the same
you said
it's always the same
but i'll make it change
into something the same
i promise
light on the waves
light on the waves
a promise
a promise
a promise
light on the water
we could sail on forever
we were all dressed up
somewhere to go
no sign of rain
but something will change
you promised
we were almost near
almost far
down came the rain
and nothing will change
you promised
a promise
a promise
you said
it's always the same
but i'll make it change
into something the same
i promise
light on the waves
a promise
a promise
we could sail on forever

What a great band! Based on the lack of posts on this and all of their songs, they've been somewhat forgotten or overlooked.
He knows what it is to be stood up. They had plans for a night or for a life ... 'you promised.' but something will change just the way it always does. What luck
@laocoon , He has something heartfelt to tell me, I am dying< you complete me,his love never ends , remember me this way. in the reflections of the light on the water. constantly changing... sunlight to moonlight... this is our romance. That is what I absorbed.

Great song. First time I heard it, it reminded me of Joy Division.
This song has very bad memories. Trusting/let down kind of stuff. Abandonment. Changing one's mind.
voice reminds me of bono..
this song seems if this person's heart has been lied to a lot of times. maybe his lover isn't showing too much recognition, and promises being broken constantly. he's had enough of her games and her secrets. he wants the truth.
