Twenty-One Years Of Promises

 

I have no ring for your finger
I have no banquet table to lay 
I have no bed of feathers

Whatever promises I made
I can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below

But I'll walk beside you, love

Any way the wind blows 

I don't need gold, don't need silver

Just bread when I'm hngry

Fire when I'm cold 

Don't need a ring for my finger 

Just need a steady hand to hold

Don't promise me fair sky above 

Don't promise me kind road below

Just walk beside me, love 

Any way the wind blows 

I don't know where this road will end 

But I'll walk it with you, hand in hand 

I can't promise you fair sky above

Can't promise you kind road below 

But I'll walk beside you, love 

Any way the wind blows 

Do you let me walk with you? 
I do

I do

I do

And keep on walking, come what will? 
I will

I will 

We will. 

-Promises from Hadestown

Happy twenty-first annivesary, David! Had this song been out when we got married I have no doubt we would have used it as our wedding vows or our first dance song or both. Thank you for walking beside me these past twenty-one years. Here's to the next twenty-one! xo
