Lyrics

Promises are carved out of lust
With a fire in the heart
That burns with no regret
I vow to play the part
In this meeting of the soul
My feelings are unknown
I learn with no regret
I'm getting what I get
Feel some pain
Though I'm miles away
And ring to let you know
Are you seeing someone
I'd better let you go
She said this was a lesson in love
She said this was a love to end all loves
This soul never listens to me
This soul has a lot to learn
Honesty eludes one and all
Like a gypsy's search for gold
He's dreaming all the time
But the gold is hard to find
Promises are carved out of lust
With a fire in the heart
That burn's with no regret
I'm getting what I get
Made a mistake with myself
My lover couldn't lie
She told me of the things
That made her cry inside
She said this was a lesson in love
She said this was a love to end all loves
This soul never listens to me
This soul has a lot to learn
Having the dreams
Of some gypsy
