Never Promise - All About Eve

I’ve been watching the news

And it doesn’t feel safe

It seems so far removed from this slumbering place

Cat at the hearth… dog at the door

Restless as sparrows awaiting the dawn

Don’t go out tonight

Don’t leave me alone

It doesn’t feel safe in our English home

There’s fear in my heart

In my ear a whisper

Are you afraid too, or is it just me?

Never promise anyone forever

I cross my heart and hope to die

You see through the whitest lie

Never promise anyone forever

Where are we travelling to Don’t go out tonight

It doesn’t feel safe

When I took in the mirror I don’t see my face

Shut up our ears to the madness outside

We’ll study old photographs

And listen to tunes

It’s too cold and dark

Stay here by the fire

It doesn’t feel safe

To live with a liar

Understand how you’ve confused second-hand with dead…

Tell me what am I supposed to do now?

I would cry for a thousand years

Shed a thousand tears

Oh but now I fear you wouldn’t believe it
