Simple Promise - Hoist the Colors

Oh my love

Your face and your heart seem so far away

What can I do

To bring you back down from the clouds

Are you lost in a trance doing a dance from so long ago

So sweet and oh so slow

Let me get lost in your eyes

Oh my love

The days have grown short and the nights grow long

Is it just me

That feels the wintery air in our bones

Still we burn in the snow

Lanterns that glow in the darkest night

We face the morning light

The city awakes from its sleep

If I could build you an empire

I’d make you my queen

If I could bring down the sky

Id lay it right at your feet

But we’re all only human down on these streets

Where the cracks tell a tale

Of a battle we must defeat

Moving on to victory

Oh my love

Take my hand as we brace for another day

Don’t look back

That’s the city we’re leaving behind

See the lights up ahead

We’ll go there instead and I promise you

Under a sky of blue

We’ll live out our lives in the sun

If not there

We’ll continue to run
