The Witch’s Promise (Mono)
[Verse 1]
Lend me your ear while I call you a fool
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood
And later insisted your feelings were true
[Chorus 1]
The witch's promise was coming
Believing he listened while laughing you flew
[Verse 2]
Leaves falling, red, yellow, brown, all look the same
And the love you had found lay outside in the rain
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain
[Chorus 2]
The witch's promise was coming
And you're looking elsewhere for your own selfish gain
[Flute Solo/Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see
[Verse 3]
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share
[Chorus 3]
The witch's promise is turning
So don't you wait up for him, he's going to be late
