Promises

When we two parted

In silence and tears

Half broken-hearted

To sever for years



The dew of the morning

Sank chill on my brow

It felt like the warning

Of what I feel now.



Promises broken

And life is your fame

I hear your name spoken

And share in it's shame.



Tell me now what I am

What I do without you mam

Is it true could it be

That desperation sleeps beside me
