Phoenix - Gregory Porter

Our love

Battered and worn

Tired and torn

You’ve grown tired of me

No love grows on its own

Left all alone

It’s inspired in me

Love fallen from grace

Can rise from the ashes

And fall into place

Love is just like a Phoenix

It can fly, it can glow

And it’s based upon the dreams that we’ve both been dreaming of

Promises, you know

Promise, you know

Love is just like a Phoenix

Let it sky, let it grow

This is just a thing that, oh, I’ve been dreaming of

The promises, you know

Promise, you know

In love

We’ve come so far

Look to the stars

Hold on to me

Take my wings

Hold on tight

Cling to my love

Hold on to me

A love fallen from grace

Can rise from the ashes

And fall into place

Love is just like a Phoenix

It can fly, it can glow

And it’s based upon the dreams that we’ve both been dreaming of

Oh, the promise, you know

Promise, you know

Love is just like a Phoenix

Let it sky, let it grow

This is just the sort of thing that we’ve both been hoping for

The promises, you know

Promise, you know

So let’s rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise

Love is just like a Phoenix

It can fly, it can glow

And it’s based upon the dreams that we’ve both been dreaming of

And, whoa, the promises, you know

Promise, you know

Love is just like a Phoenix

Let it sky, let it grow

This is just what we’ve both been dreaming of

Oh, the promises, you know

Promise, you know

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise
