David Sylvian - I Surrender Lyrics
I opened up the pathway of the heartThe flowers died embittered from the startThat night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrenderedI looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boyHis life of sorrows now collapsing into joyAnd tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrenderMy mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrenderRecording angels and the poets of the nightBring back the trophies of the battles that we fightSearchlights fill the open skies and I surrenderOutrageous cries of love have called me backDerailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracksYou tell me Ive no need to wonder why I just surrenderI stand too close to see the sleight of handHow she found this child inside the frightened manTonight Im learning how to fly and I surrenderIve travelled all this way for your embraceEnraptured by the recognition on your faceHold me now while my old life dies tonight and I surrenderMy mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrenderAn ancient evening just before the fallThe light in your eyes, the meaning of it allBirds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrenderShe throws the burning books into the seaCome find the meaning of the word inside of meIts alright the stars are all aligned and I surrenderMy mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrenderMy body turns to ashes in her handsThe disappearing world of footprints in the sandTell me now that this love will never die and Ill surrenderMy mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender
