PROMISES

Ralph McTell

Till the desert brings forth fruit
Till romance gives way to truth
Till a castle’s built on sand
I will love you all I can.
Till one day all men are free
Or until blind faith can see
And when hunger’s vanished too
I will hunger after you.

Chorus: 
Promises are so easy made
Sometimes it’s hard to see them through
But you must know how I love you
Some of mine are coming true.
Till a hare sleeps with a hound
Or till they weigh love by the pound
Until fear has vanished too
I’ll be scared of losing you.

Chorus

For a desert brings forth fruit
And romance sells more than truth
Sun to moon and moon to sky
I will love you till I die
I will love you, love you.
