The Promise

Zucchero


Main street lights, morning hours, 
Lead me down to quiet streets 
Early traffic with it's radio songs 
Someplace two rivers meet 
Will you be in my life? 
Kiss me in the shadows 
Time, time, time's going to keep the promise 
It's alright, it's alright 

Mercy falls on my sacred ground 
Pretty woman cries but makes no sound 
I am lost, it don't matter 
If the paper house comes tumbling down 

Going to be in your life, standing in the shadows 
Time, time, time's going to make the days flow 
It's alright, the promise 
It's alright, the loveless 

Only a moment in time 
The prayers of all the people will fly 
Blessing the city tonight 
I'll wait for the sound of our voices 
To sing... 
Love comes and it's alright, that's all 
Believe me and it's alright, that's all
