Hiss Golden Messenger
Hard Promises
He came to town on a Sunday
And he begged to dance for us
I chased my hat into the wind
Beneath a rainbow chorus
I found myself in the yard
And the song grew ever louder
Beyond the field, there come a storm
And the houses stood in rapture
I've been bad
I've been wasted
Getting hard promises made
Promises made
Promises made
Woah
Mm-hm
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Yeah na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I left home on a Monday
And I begged the sun to shine
Now I'm changing horses every mile
Yes, I run them 'til they're crying
I am a knight of the road
Every door is some new thing
But I lost the key to my own heart
And my old town, they don't know me
I've been down
I've been wakened
Been some hard promises made
Promises made
Promises made
Woah
Mm-hm, na na
Yeah, na na na na na na
Yeah, na na na na na na
Yeah, na na na na na na
Well, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Yeah, na na na na na na
Yeah, na na na na na na
