[music intro]
|
|
I sometimes wonder why people make promises they never intend to keep.
|
Not in big things, like love or elections, but in the things that count -
|
The newspaper boy who says he will save an extra paper, and doesn't.
|
The laundry that tells you your suit will be ready on Thursday and it isn't.
|
Love, well yes, but like everything else, we go from day to day,
|
We move from promise to promise.
|
I've had a good many promises now, so I can wait for the harvest.
|
And some of them, they come about.
