A Promise |
| Immanuel, will your doctors let you be ill? |
| Or are the new laws quoting quotas they have to fill? |
| They said you to have to work |
| So you work and you get worse |
| And you curse the day you were born |
| Fill in your date of birth |
| And sign your name on the application form |
| Immanuel, every drop of blood tastes like wine |
| When I speak of blood |
| I’m speaking of how you always felt like a brother to me |
| Immanuel, when I speak of wine |
| I’m speaking of the wine regions outside of Santiago, Chile |
| Where I will take you when you get better |
| Immanuel, it’s difficult to stand fast |
| When it’s not your arm nicely wrapped in a cast |
| When your a needle in a haystack |
| And a dead horse on the racetrack |
| And no one sees you bleeding |
| When the story is old |
| And the winter blowing cold in Sweden |
| Immanuel, every drop of blood tastes like wine |
| When I speak of blood |
| I’m speaking of what I would do if anyone hurt you |
| Immanuel, when I speak of wine |
| I’m speaking of the wine regions outside of Santiago, Chile |
| Where I will take you when you get better |
| And that’s a promise |
| Immanuel, imagine the cool breeze from the Andes |
| Immanuel, imagine the full-bodied red wine against your lips |
| Immanuel, imagine the Chilean women |
| The most beautiful women in the world |
