Promises   Album `savage Garden` Lyrics

Well don't you know I need a  

       little indulgence?  

       Listen to the hunter becoming  

       hunted  

       Everyday there's a million advances  

       Don't be too forceful you'll ruin  

       your chances  

       Well don't you know that time is a  

       broken glass  

       That splinters against the wall?  

       But the picture is coming back  

       now baby,  

       And I want to take it all  

  

       Don't go making all these promises  

       you know you cannot keep  

       There's a time to play a king and a  

       time to be a thief  

       'Cause if you're making all these  

       promises you know you cannot keep  

       You know time will be the thief and  

       your fallen king end up alone  

  

       So let your body move a little bit closer  

       Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone  

       Don't you know that powerful thinking  

       Can be a force you don't want  

       to relinquish?  

       Well don't you know that  

       They say hanging on will justify the wait?  

       But patience and elated wisdom  

       don't share a common phrase  

  

       Don't go making all these promises  

       you know you cannot keep  

       There's a time to play a king and a  

       time to be a thief  

       'Cause if you're making all these  

       promises you know you cannot keep  

       You know time will be the thief and  

       your fallen king end up alone  

  

       Well I'm only hanging on for what  

       goes down  

       I'm floating high and my feet don't  

       touch the ground  

       I'd take advantage but I can't see  

       through this charade  

       So don't you, don't go make it harder  

       that hell  

       'Cause it comes down to the making  

       You'd better be damned sure you can  

       take it  

       Hey baby  

  

       Don't go making all these promises  

       you know you cannot keep  

       There's a time to play a king and a  

       time to be a thief  

       'Cause if you're making all these  

       promises you know you cannot keep  

       You know time will be the thief and  

       your fallen king end up alone  

  

       Time will be the thief  

       and your fallen king will end up...  

       A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool  

       Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
