Bananarama Promised Land Lyrics

Promised Land Lyrics

Lock me up in a room somewhere 

Get me out of the open air 

No perception of space or time 

And no peace of mind 



Shut me out of the wind and rain 

Shelter me from the hurt and pain 

No temptation to lead me on 

Now that you're gone 



(chorus) 

Won't you come to the rescue 

Take me to the promised land 

You've got the power to show me 

Love is at hand 

With you right here beside me 

Dancing barefoot in the sand 

Close your eyes and take me 

To the promised land 



Bolt the windows and close the door 

Now there's nothing worth living for 

New direction is hard to find 

So leave me behind 



Dim the lights and hang up the phone 

All I want is to be alone 

No connection with anyone 

I just can't go on 



(chorus) 



Take me to the promised land 

Take me to the promised land 

(Take me) 

To the promised land 

To the promised land 

Take me 



(chorus) 



Won't you come 

To the promised land 

Won't you come 

(To the rescue) 

To the promised land 

(Come to the rescue)
