Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said something will change
We were all dressed up, somewhere to go
No sign of rain
But something will change
You promised
[Instrumental]
You said nothing will change
We were almost near, almost far
Down came the rain
But nothing will change
You promised
[Chorus]
A promise
A promise
A promise
[Verse 2]
It's exactly the same
You said it's always the same
But I'll make it change
Into something the same
I promise
[Chorus]
A promise
A promise
A promise
[Instrumental]
Light on the waves
Light on the waves
Light on the waves
Light on the waves
A promise
A promise
A promise
A promise
[Outro]
(Light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
A promise
(There's light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
(There's light on the water)
A promise
(There's light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
(There's light on the water)
A promise
(There's light on the water)
(We could sail on forever) A promise
