"Promise" lyrics
"Promise"
And meet me there, bundles of flowers
We'll wade through the hours of cold
Winter she'll howl at the walls
Tearing down doors of time
Shelter as we go...
And promise me this
You'll wait for me only
Scared of the lonely arms
Surface, far below these birds
And maybe, just maybe I'll come home
Who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?
To tell you stories of mine
Who am I?
Who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
To be your burden in time, lonely
Who am I, to you?
Who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
To be your burden
Who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?
I come alone here
I come alone here

The sound of the rain at the beginning of "Promise" was recorded in a barn. Ben Howard explained to Laist.com in a 2012 interview, "That was the sound of rain on the roof. We essentially played Russian roulette with two ribbon mics that night. It was around 2 a.m. and it was pissing down with rain—big fat raindrops."
'Promise' was used in the first episode of "The 100" television drama series and at the end of the twelfth episode of the eighth season of TV show "House".

Keep the car running
Lavender fingers
