Lyrics
Seven Promises

Seven promises to keep before I reach home.
Twisted and weak, I'm tired to the bone.
Knee deep into the night. I'm pushed past sleep.
I'm tangled in stars with seven promises to keep.
One is held in amber, another tosses stones.
One sleeps in my pocket when I think Iím alone.
Two are caught in cages longing to be free.
One keeps me up at night.
The last one's for me.
Seven promises to keep, Iím nearer to home.
Everything I believe in warms on the stove.
That light in your window is all I can see.
I step into morning with seven promises to keep.
One is held in amber, another tosses stones.
One sleeps in my pocket when I think Iím alone.
Two are caught in cages longing to be free.
One keeps me up at night.
The last one's for me.
Seven promises to keep, will I ever reach home?
Will I ever reap all the love Iíve sown?
And I should have asked who'll inherit the meek?
Because what if I die here with seven promises to keep?
One is held in amber, another tosses stones.
One sleeps in my pocket when I think Iím alone.
Two are caught in cages longing to be free.
One keeps me up at night.
The last one's for me.
