Lyrics Simple Promise - Hoist the Colors

Simple Promise

Oh my love
Your face and your heart seem so far away
What can I do
To bring you back down from the clouds
Are you lost in a trance doing a dance from so long ago
So sweet and oh so slow
Let me get lost in your eyes
Oh my love
The days have grown short and the nights grow long
Is it just me
That feels the wintery air in our bones
Still we burn in the snow
Lanterns that glow in the darkest night
We face the morning light
The city awakes from its sleep
If I could build you an empire
I’d make you my queen
If I could bring down the sky
Id lay it right at your feet
But we’re all only human down on these streets
Where the cracks tell a tale
Of a battle we must defeat
Moving on to victory
Oh my love
Take my hand as we brace for another day
Don’t look back
That’s the city we’re leaving behind
See the lights up ahead
We’ll go there instead and I promise you
Under a sky of blue
We’ll live out our lives in the sun
If not there
We’ll continue to run
