Promises - Ralph McTell

Till the desert brings forth fruit

Till romance gives way to truth

Till a castle’s built on sand

I will love you all I can

Till all men one day are free

Or until blind faith can see

And when hunger’s vanished too

I will hunger after you

Promises are so easily made

Sometimes it’s hard to see them through

But you must know how I love you

Some of mine are coming true

Till a hare sleeps with a hound

Or till they weigh love by the pound

Until fear has vanished too

Well, I’ll be scared of losing you

Promises are so easily made

Sometimes it’s hard to see them through

But you must know how I love you

Some of mine, some of mine are coming true

For a desert brings forth fruit

And romance sells more than truth

Sun to moon and sea to sky

I will love you till I die

I will love you till I die
