Promise My Love
build you a bed of roses
to dream in as petals descend
which crowd around your golden pillow where every rainbow ends
the rainbow ends the rainbow must end
our south facing windows will gaze
on a dazzling crystalline sea which i'll smooth like our sheets every morning then retrieve sunken dreams carefully swap your pains, for mother of pearl i'll do all your laughing and crying
with an ace up each sleeve for you girl
i promise you my love if you want it if you're sinking, i'll sing you my psalm in this craziest of times my rope ladder you can climb and the scariest of storms i will calm
i'll lie through my teeth if you need it
kiss it better, should tragedy strike all your sorrows i'll impale
gladly go straight to jail have the devil dance a jig if you like

consider your wishes all granted
cream from a bottomless cup
i'll be at your beck and call endless
like a kitchen roll, just use me up
use me up
just use me up
the drizzle i'll turn into fine wine
to serve on a tray in the den and all i'll have raining from heaven
are pennies, pounds, deutschmarks or yen i'll turn the clouds to diamanté
and pile them up each rosy red dawn
into castles, to keep bad at bay
and only good moods i'll allow in the dark ones must wait by the door have them feed all heartaches
to a huge flock of doves who will pull our dreamboat from the shore
i promise you my love if you want it...
