Promise

Jack and Rose

Looking back, oh beloved.

I remember things you said to me.

In the garden, before the black sun rose,

Things you said

to

me.

Things you said, oh beloved.

And the promise that you took from me.

Now I see you;

Standing next to me.

Standing next

to

me

Standing

quietly.

Looking back, oh beloved.

I remember things you said to me.

In the garden, before the black sun rose.

Standing next

to

me.

Saying

promise

me.

Saying

promise

me.

"Promise me" -Courtney Saunders

Heard this in The Ballad of Jack and Rose. Amazing film. For the educated and appreciative, though. This song has minimal lyrics but is so meaningful in its simplicity. About promises, that you give and take, but lose. They creep and haunt you until death. I promise to not make any promises anymore. Too much hope and disappointment lingering in the promises people give and I take.
