Don’t Promise Me Anything

Don’t promise me anything at all
You went away with a distant force
Many years ago we said much more
This year you keep on the Athens call
Look my back’s against some foreign wall
The times I tried to break on through
Rethought all this “being a friend to you”
Reconsider everything I do
Then take it back, agree, talk to to you
Said at once I’m the only friend you’ve got

I’m not someone that you think is someone you can talk at and
Keep it stoled away, until it’s necessary to call
Treat me someone up against some wall
Treat me like some dream that you can’t forget
Live out all your days like it hasn’t happened yet
Consider it enough to be froze in time
Do me a favor if I help you to unwind it all.
