Promised Land Lyrics - 1975

[ Buy Promised Land ]

(words & music by christian)
I used to laugh when i should cry
I used to let these feelings pass me by
But now that i believe them
I got no-one to leave them to me
You see i traded love for what i thought must be free

So i confess my loneliness
And i guess i've lost the best of the year
That i have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air
If i cared i wouldn't be singing this love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and i've gone away
From now on i'll make it very clear
Cos' i don't want to write
Another love song of the year

It's a lonely song and not too clear
But to me it's very dear
I guess this song can only be
My feelings went out in the sea of love
To me this has got to be the love song of the year

I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and i've gone away
From now on i'll make it very clear
Cos' i don't want to write
Another love song of the year

I used to laugh i used to cry
I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by
From now on i'll make it very clear cos' i don't want to write
Another love song of the year
