Paroles de Promises

Hello mary jo You're the reason it's all falling to pieces Seems the treason's in the cracks and the creases Our promises fell through Around the running track We walked for hours talking godot and steinbeck The april showers left us dizzy and soul wrecked And yearning for more All the pretty girls are waiting for the summer Sulking in dark science labs and picking skirts from glossy mags And praying for the day they take the train, they ride the train They fill the train with overlapping chatter Summer breeze of giddy laughter Dearest mary jo We splashed away the hours in bright light and pale green We were oh so high, or low, but never in between And we said we'd save the world But turned and turned again What's left is time and plans and so much reality There's just no winning and no losing anymore you see We're grown up and worn out All the pretty girls are waiting for the summer Sulking in dark science labs and picking skirts from glossy mags And praying for the day they take the train, they ride the train They fill the train with overlapping chatter Summer breeze of giddy laughter
