And just another day in august
i heard you whisper in my ear
you wont leave, you wont betray us?
you know i hold you so dear
and i gazed at the firestove
and i reached out for your hand
and flooded with universal love
i said i never will
i will run for your eyes
i will die for your sighs
i will tear down the moon if you ask, i will
i will always be here
i will always be near
never cry never fear i will always be here
and though the fire long has burned out
the burning coals turned black and cold
you still find me here waiting
for the light to unfold
ive have stopped making promises
i stopped long ago
but the promise i gave you
i still promise to hold
I will run …
