I Told You

Harry Belafonte

Broken promise

Lies open in a corner of the room

Empty feelings

Hang in the air like old perfume

Rhymes and reasons

Still wait untaken in my hand

Old excuses

There's nothing here to understand



I told you, I told you

Too much about me, I don't know

I told you, I told you

Always is just too far to go



Shadows, distance

I watch them fall across your face

I can't touch them

And you can't hide them any place

Endless circles

We've been here many times before

There's no change now

You just can't take it anymore



I told you, I told you

Too much about me ,I don't know

I told you, I told you

Always is just too far to go

I told you
