Lyrics: Dan Fogelberg. Promises Made.

Promises made and promises broken
Measures of our demise
Secrets of souls that rarely get spoken
Pleasure's a thin disguise

Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
Shielding our hearts from pain
Riddles of romance
That distance may yet explain

Certain of nothing, so fearful of love
Nobody seems to show you enough
Over and over scenes are replayed
And once again those promises made

Feeling forsaken, broken in two
How did this ever happen to you?
Taken for granted, bruised and betrayed
Lonely survivors these promises made

Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
Shielding our hearts from pain
Riddles of romance
That distance may yet explain

Certain of nothing you're so damn fearful of love
Nobody seems to show you enough
Over and over scenes are replayed
And once again those promises made
Those promises made
