Christopher Hampton - Before the Summer Ends lyrics

HARKER She made me give my promise A terrifying promise It's not the kind of promise made every day To desecrate a temple, t O trample on a flower To catch a bu*terfly and simply tear off its wings It's worse than all of these things To dim the sun before the summer ends To burn the castle down Before the princess is awake To k** our love when it's still so alive I would not do it My heart would break But I have given her my word And if the time should come I will do what I must How could I? To dim the sun before the summer ends To burn the castle down Before the princess is awake To k** our love when it's still so alive I'll keep my word and My heart will break I'll keep my word and My heart will break
