Love made a promise

Beached by the same tide when we met
Caught in a storm when we came together
I never needed someone like I needed you back then
I swear I believed it
I never lied to you
When I said what I said
I think you know it´s the end of the story
You´ve been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn´t keep
We run from the truth
But we end up nowhere
And everyone knows you can´t run forever
It seems that just wanting something
Don´t mean it´s gonna be
We played by the rules
But times made liers of you and me
I think you know it´s the end of the story
You´ve been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn´t keep
So we find another way
To get through another night
And we spend the whole night dreaming
Another day will find a way to make it alright
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
Caught in a storm when we came together
I never needed someone like I needed you back then
I swear I believed it
I never lied to you
When I said what I said
I think you know it´s the end of the story
You´ve been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn´t keep
We run from the truth
But we end up nowhere
And everyone knows you can´t run forever
It seems that just wanting something
Don´t mean it´s gonna be
We played by the rules
But times made liers of you and me
I think you know it´s the end of the story
You´ve been crying in your sleep
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Love made a promise
Time couldn´t keep
So we find another way
To get through another night
And we spend the whole night dreaming
Another day will find a way to make it alright
Time is the judge, tears are the jury
We´ve got to make that bitter leap
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
Love made a promise (I said)
Love made a promise
