Promises Lyrics - Amanda Marshall - Amanda Marshall

Police cars 'round in circles 

The silence gathering 

You never know what's next down here 

Close your eyes and shut your mouth 

I know I won't last forever 

If there's nothing left in your heart for me 

Baby, baby, baby, baby 

Too young to die and too old 

To believe in promises 

The ambulance is singing 

To streetcars in the rain 

Like Barracuda waiting 

For the guns down in the hood 

But this ain't no West Side Story 

And the curtain's comin' down on me 

Baby, baby, baby, baby 

Too young to die and too old 

To believe in promises 

It's all sound and all fury 

It's all reach and no touch 

It's all life's cold bravado 

All grown up and old so fast 

And I know I won't last forever 

If there's nothing left in your heart for me 

Baby, baby, baby, baby 

Too young to die and too old 

Too young to die and too old 

To believe in promises 

Na na na 

Na na na 

Na na na 

Na na na, we all walk alone 

Na na na
