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 it's shame. 

Promises broken 

Promises broken 

Tell me now what I am?
What I do without you mam?
Is it true? could it be
That desperation sleeps beside me

Tell me now what I am?
What I do without you mam?
Is it true? could it be 
That desperation sleeps beside me

That desperation sleeps beside me

Promises broken 
And life is your fame 
I hear your name spoken 
And share in it's shame. 

Promises broken 

Promises broken 

Tell me now what I am? 
What I do without you mam? 
Is it true? could it be 
That desperation sleeps beside me

Tell me now what I am?
What I do without you mam?
Is it true? could it be 
That desperation sleeps beside me

Tell me now what I am? 
What I do without you mam? 
Is it true? could it be 

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 it's shame.
