The Iveys - The Promise lyrics

Cast a number into the sea Here's a billion more you can throw away It disappeared or I lost it somewhere A year ago in the month of May The only promise that we made to each other was We'd try to save Ourselves from falling into the same fate As everyone else but it died just the same But all the lights still shine And as the days go by You've got to pick yourself up off the ground And come back in from the outside Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there We're not supposed to be alone It's fragile times as I gain in age And we know less than we did as a child It disappeared or I lost it somewhere But it's been gone from me for a while The only promise that we made to each other was We'd try to save Ourselves from falling into the same fate As everyone else but we ended the same All the lights still shine And as the days go by You've got to pick yourself up off the ground And come back in from the outside Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there We're not supposed to be alone Hope is always there within a shattered dream All the lights still shine And as the days go by You've got to pick yourself up off the ground And come back in from the outside Reach out, reach out, there's somebody there We're not supposed to be alone We're not supposed to be alone
