David Sylvian Promise (the Cult Of Eurydice) Lyrics

Promise (the Cult Of Eurydice) Lyrics

The silence of the park

 The moonshine after dark

 Came to keep her company

 The tiny golden cross lay upon her throat

 Hands clutching tight her rosary

 

 The rain upon her lips

 Eyes opened with a kiss

 Just too late for us to see

 She sits upon the ground

 Face covered by a shroud of midnight canopy

 

 And when the lightning starts

 The secrets in her heart

 Merge within the rain patterns

 And when the shadows fall

 The promise of it all is lost inside the tears that linger on

 

 All the things we'd hoped

 Would always keep us close

 Stand between us now, as fences

 The letters that we wrote

 Have all gone up in smoke

 And now you're just too far to listen in

 

 When all but hope is lost

 You believe at any cost

 In things that make the living lighter

 And when the shadows fall

 The promise of it all

 Is lying in the bed besider her
