Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Promises Broken

Streets are filled with broken glass

You get buried by the past

Give me just a little taste

Lay this mess to waste

Take me home, my mind is racing

Take me home, my body's aching

So alone, I'll make you wanna stay with me

Befriended by the enemy

One more time

Every little things about this tells me

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me

All these words that I hear spoken

Just promises broken now

Looking outside from my window sill

Throw another coin in the wishing well

You'll never find what you're looking for

15 miles your dim light shines from so far away

Your sad smile is all I see when I say

From the hotel satellite

Don't look like you're living right

Here's a deal you can't refuse

You ain't got as much to lose

Can you tell your troubles to

Someone who won't laugh at you, it's all right

And as I watch you walk away

Hope a part of you will stay, it's all right
