Lyrics

[Verse 1] Changed my name to "promise you", yeah Dying inside 'cause I want you, yeah Didn't I say I wanted to heal Honey I'd changed before you, yeah 28 years are coming to end The rain chased me down the gully again Now I'm higher than anyone here And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah [Interlude] (But she's gone But she's gone But she's gone But she's gone) [Verse 2] But-but-but baby I swear it, I wanted to call But on my way around I happened to fall She's a MUA at Carnegie Hall In her vanity mirror, we're losing it all Well, we shacked up swift abandonment way Catchin' sweet rain inside a beret In it I'm reflecting all of the day And I will fade in the night, yeah [Chorus] Will you apologise For the remainder of your life? Do you accept the charges? I promise you, I'll promise to, yeah [Verse 3] Well, now she curls up with his favourite son He's the ugliest man in heaven for one As long as there's nobody fooling me there Then dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah, yeah They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet Now I can't quite remember what I had to say Till I get higher than everyone here And I will fade in the night, yeah [Chorus] In the charmless morning I promise to be gone I almost felt the feeling That I wanted to, I wanted to, yeah Ah, you thought I was here But I'm further than the sun, son Ah, silent as the feeling That I've promised you, I promise you, yeah [Outro] Well, I changed my name to "promise you", yeah (But she's gone) It's easier than making apologies, yeah (But she's gone) Now I'm higher than anyone here (But she's gone) And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah (But she's gone)
