The Promise Ring

Half Year Sun

The Promise Ring


At the top of the world 
There is a half-year sun 
The water's all froze 
And one thousand men old 
On the side of the hill 
There are no wanting eyes 
But you're a spectacle a spinning doll 
Now the hour is fading but ours is staying 
Its all syncopated to your heart's hard heartbeat time 
You may never miss a sign 

At the base of your skull 
I've got a place there still 
All my clothes spread out 
In a permanent row 

Now the hour is fading but ours is staying 
Its all syncopated to your hearts hard heartbeat time 
We will never not get together 
We will never not get too old 
The water's all frozen one 

And I've got a place there still 
And we will not get too old
