Lyrics: Alexander Webb. The Hourglass EP. Promises.


Taking on frozen leaves colored brown
Laid to rest by winter winds on the ground
Ain't it sad to see that tree naked shivering like me
But I know soon that spring will come
And color me with all the leaves that I could need

It colors me

Another train to another plane to take me where I'm supposed to be
That's what I'd like to believe
But it's not a place
It's just a taste of how you wanted it to be
You know it comes to me in dreams

It comes to me
While I sleep
It comes to me

[Chorus:]
I am the branches
You are the vines
Remain in me and I'll remain in you
Forever
That's what I'm living for
These promises I know you will keep
These promises that you make to me

[piano]

A single drop of water hanging on a leaf
Sunlight shining through it brings me to my knees
Refracted light
This prism right
The rainbow slips into my eyes
Gives me the colors I need

It falls on me
It falls on me
It falls on me

I am the branches
You are the vine
Remain in me
And I'll remain in you
Forever that's what I'm living for
These promises I know you will keep
These promises that you make to me

These promises I know you will keep
