lyrics

Promises
Words and music: Boo Sutcliffe

Tell me is it true?
Have you forgotten all those dreams I took from you?
Like a fading picture of a misty view
Tell me is it true?

I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me

‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why

Tell me is it true?
Shout the loudest and we might believe in you
He who pays the piper
Always calls the tune
Tell me is it you?

I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me

‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why

I know you say we’re free
But these chains they disillusion me

‘Cause we’re tired of these promises and
Tired of the chains
That hold my inner feelings, bring you back again
Tired of these promises and
Tired of the lies
And you’ve got to tell me something
But you just can’t tell me why

We love the diversity of the styles on this album. We love that Tom has assembled this group of tracks! Of course, we love all the tracks, but our absolute favorite is "It's Alright to Feel It!" that allows folks to feel what they're feeling to help themselves feel better! Bruce Henderson
