Many thanks to Mark Schwendiman for playing bass and wurly.

lyrics

It was late at night in a cabin in the woods
Where we swore an oath to each other
Yeah, we were two kids but we were in love
It was there we vowed
There would never be another
I said I do, you said you do too
We sealed it in blood like a blood brother

You broke your promise to me

We made our way back
Back to the mean old world
The mean old world
And all its temptation
When we were apart I only thought about you
You were my star
You were my salvation
Don't know what went on inside your old head
But I guess all you desired was sensation

You married some guy
His name is Tom
He came to your rescue, he came to your aid
He is a teacher and you are a shrink
He drinks his whisky in his lemonade
I still think about you and about that night
And I wonder about the promise we made
