1. She said: Your promises are like rainless clouds
Or waterless, barren desert sands

2. How often did you quench my passion with your lies
Woven into your nightly tales and slander

3. The eggs of hope have flown from my nest
Leaving me with regret and weariness

4. I told myself to be patient, for patience rewards its people
No matter how long the sweet talk of love endures
