Another one I wish I'd re-recorded for inclusion on the album but time was against me.

lyrics

A Promise

I won’t put words in your mouth
Or ideas in your head
Or show you black and white photos
Of mouldy bread
I won’t put shoes in your fridge
Or swap your vodka for brine
I won’t reset your watch
To the incorrect time

I won’t distract you from doing
What you planned to today
Or make a giant model of
Your head in clay…”Hello!”
I won’t swat you when pretending
To kill a bee
Or roll my eyes
When you’re talking to me

I won’t say one thing
And then do another
Or alienate your friends
Or tickle your mother
I won’t answer the phone
In a high-pitched voice
Like an excited mouse
That’s gone all moist

I won’t forget your birthday
Or other important dates
Or wake you up early
When we’ve stayed up late
But I will say I love you
And mean it as well
It’s a pleasure and a privilege
To be under your spell
