Margaret Becker Coins And Promises Lyrics

Coins And Promises Lyrics

I should know better

I should believe You

But leaves are falling

And I am crumbling in brittle pieces



I should remember

How well You warmed me

But I'm standing in the browns and greys

Of a season's ending



They say everyone must toss the coin of
fate

I think it's such a cold, cold comfort for comfort's sake



So I take these coins and promises

And I hold them in my trembling
hands

One is chance, one is rest

One I toss

The other I
live



I fear the forecast

I know it can move me

Still I
close my eyes and try to remember

The sweet words You told me

I am
simply so unprepared

So weak and frightened by the whole affair



CHORUS



I cannot stand 

But I will not fall

Without
Your promises

Nothing makes sense at all

So I dig them in

And
I dare my soul to believe



CHORUS
