Promises

When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years
The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow
It felt like the warning
Of what i feel now.

Promises broken
And life is your fame
I hear your name spoken
And share in its shame.
Tell me now what i am
What i do without you mam
Is it true could it be
That desperation sleeps beside me
