Songtext Promise of tomorrow Vertical Horizon

Promise of tomorrow

I am standing here again, a waterfall around me
Memories in the wind, pushing me softly
Inches from the end, the voices go
And greet it like a friend, the darkness of tomorrow

It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here

Shattered images, in the mirror that you broke
Flowers on fire, house up in smoke
A life sucked quickly, my next of kin
Tell me where have you been?

There's no fear here, only distance and pain
Seconds for everyone, won't you come around again?
It's twice bitten sorrows and thoughts of restraint
I see the resolution leaves a bloody stain

It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here

Father my brother, befriend of thee
Lights dim slowly on this tragic scene
A tale for the capture somewhere in the sky
I hope he's out there and not lost in the ride

It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here

I am standing there again, waterfall around me
Memories in the wind pushing me softly
Inches from the end, the voices go
And greet it like a friend, the promise of tomorrow

It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here
It's a long way, down here
