I Surrender - David Sylvian

[00:22.36]I opened up the pathway of the heart
[00:27.08]The flowers died embittered from the start
[00:32.96]
[00:35.94]That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrendered
[00:42.44]
[00:45.06]I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy
[00:53.99]His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy
[01:00.32]
[01:02.85]And tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrender
[01:16.66]My mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrender
[01:23.09]
[01:27.31]Recording angels and the poets of the night
[01:33.57]Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight
[01:40.56]
[01:42.39]Searchlights fill the open skies and I surrender
[01:49.45]
[01:54.36]
[02:09.56]
[02:16.33]
[02:37.63]Outrageous cries of love have called you back
[02:41.18]
[02:43.44]Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks
[02:50.56]
[02:50.80]You tell me I've no need to wonder why I just surrender
[02:57.40]
[03:01.94]I stand too close to see the sleight of hand
[03:35.44]How she found this child inside the frightened man
[03:42.43]
[03:45.19]Tonight I'm learning how to fly and I surrender
[03:51.35]
[03:58.60]I've travelled all this way for your embrace
[04:02.96]Enraptured by the recognition on your face
[04:09.06]
[04:11.39]Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and I surrender
[04:18.72]My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender
[04:32.25]
[04:36.47]An ancient evening just before the fall
[04:42.88]The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all
[04:49.70]
[04:51.68]Birds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrender
[04:59.29]
[05:06.06]She throws the burning books into the sea
[05:09.65]"Come find the meaning of the word inside of me"
[05:16.70]
[05:19.75]It's alright the stars are all aligned and I surrender
[05:26.29]My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrender
[05:39.90]
[06:13.82]My body turns to ashes in her hands
[06:17.55]The disappearing world of footprints in the sand
[06:24.36]
[06:26.61]Tell me now that this love will never die and I'll surrender
[06:33.62]My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender
[06:47.51]
[08:19.47]
[09:19.85]
