A Promise You Can't Keep Lyrics - Singles - Farmer's Boys

Love's running away from me 

Through open eyes I still can't see 

You, important part of me 

Walking on air, you'll find me there 

What's on your mind? Love's so unkind 

I waited hours for it, something so rare I held it close 

Closer than ever now 

What could be near, and yet so far? 

Love's running away from me 

Through open eyes I still can't see 

Where there is time, you could be mine 

Why dwell on past encounters? 

At least they still affect us 

Time, ticking away from us 

Where there is time you still are mine 

Love's running away from you 

Through open eyes I've seen right through 

Where there is hope I think I'll cope 

Why wait in transit for it, rise up and reach out for it 

Listen, though things may go wrong 

It's forever, a promise you can't keep 

I'll wait a lifetime for it, I'll rise, reach out and then I'll...
