John Wesley Harding - The Promise of Love Lyrics

I forgot all my perfect ideas
On the night I was born
But the day that I saw you the first time
It was a new dawn
I'd been watching reflections in windows
It wasn't enough
I gave into your Promise of Love

You stirred up a dim recollection
So deep in my soul
Recalling a version of this world
Where everything is whole
I was resigned that the right way
Was dirty and rough
So I fell for your Promise of Love

I never loved you the way like they said that I would
But people were jealous which never does no-one no good

Now nothing can stop me
The world looks so shallow and blurred
The shadows I'm seeing as dull
As the echoes that I have heard
I'm going somewhere beyond
All the push and the shove
I'm bound by the Promise of Love
