Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Soft guitar + night ambience] Night got a different sound here. Quieter. Like the world listening. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 Sitting outside while the night breeze blow, Two cups on the table and the radio low. You said “tell me where you running from,” I said “I don’t know, I just know I run.” You laughed and said “you talk in circles,” I said “maybe cause my life’s in circles.” You looked at me like you saw right through, Like every word I said was see-through. You told me stories about your home, About your mother and the land you grown. And the way you spoke with that quiet pride… Made me wish I had that inside. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 Palm wine and promises in the night so slow, Truth come out when the warm winds blow. You told me things that you never told… Over palm wine gold. Palm wine and promises under open skies, I saw the truth shining in your eyes. Somewhere between your words and mine… I think our hearts aligned. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 You said “you ever think you might stay?” I looked at the ground, didn’t know what to say. Cause my life back home still calling me, But when I’m with you I feel free. You said “love ain’t easy when worlds apart,” Then you put your hand right on my heart. Said “don’t promise things you can’t do,” I said “I only promise truth.” And the way you looked in my eyes that night… Felt like standing in a truth so bright. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 Palm wine and promises in the night so slow, Truth come out when the warm winds blow. You told me things that you never told… Over palm wine gold. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Soft vocals] Some promises sound beautiful. Some promises sound honest. Yours… sounded honest. ⸻ [Final Verse] 🎶 Now the night almost turning to dawn, Radio still playing soft love songs. And the way you leaned on my shoulder then… Made me scared of where this might end. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Guitar fading] Yeah… Some nights change everything. You just don’t know it yet.
