Song of Broken Promises
She watched me through a window pane on a cold November eve
The Hunters Moon was on my back as I took my leave
I stopped and turned to see her there in the lantern's light
I felt a blessing, then slipped into the shadows of the night
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
Beneath the moon the hounds will bay, but the moon will never hear
And it never heard the promise we made with hearts that were so pure
That night I looked into her eyes and made this sacred vow
"I will be with you until I die; nothing else will my heart allow!"
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
The swaddling bands of our innocence and a veiled reality
Tricked us into a penitence for what our hearts truly believed
We broke that sacred promise, and we left it there on the path
But, unless you've reached your journey's end, there's no point in looking back
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
The Hunters Moon was on my back as I took my leave
I stopped and turned to see her there in the lantern's light
I felt a blessing, then slipped into the shadows of the night
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
Beneath the moon the hounds will bay, but the moon will never hear
And it never heard the promise we made with hearts that were so pure
That night I looked into her eyes and made this sacred vow
"I will be with you until I die; nothing else will my heart allow!"
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
The swaddling bands of our innocence and a veiled reality
Tricked us into a penitence for what our hearts truly believed
We broke that sacred promise, and we left it there on the path
But, unless you've reached your journey's end, there's no point in looking back
Down by the river when we were younger
We both promised each other we would always be together
