I Surrender Lyrics


I opened up the pathway of the heart
The flowers died embittered from the start
That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrenderI looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy
His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy
And tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrenderMy mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrenderRecording angels and the poets of the night
Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight
Searchlights fill the open skies and I surrenderOutrageous cries of love have called you back
Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks
You tell me I've no need to wonder why, I just surrenderI stand too close to see the sleight of hand
How she found this child inside the frightened man
Tonight I'm learning how to fly and I surrenderI've traveled all this way for your embrace
Enraptured by the recognition on your face
Hold 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 fall
The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all
Birds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrenderShe throws the burning books into the sea
"Come find the meaning of the word inside of me"
It's alright, the stars are all aligned and I surrenderMy mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrenderMy body turns to ashes in her hands
The disappearing world of footprints in the sand

Tell me now that this love will never die and I'll surrenderMy mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

David Sylvian (born, David Alan Batt, 23rd of February 1958, in Beckenham, Kent, UK) is an English singer, musician and composer who first rose to fame as the lead vocalist and main songwriter of the band Japan, and whose subsequent solo career has been influenced by a variety of musical styles and genres, including jazz, ambient music and electronic music. Japan - which also included Mick Karn, Rob Dean, Richard Barbieri and Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen - started out as a confusing hybrid rock/sleaze outfit in the mould of David Bowie and The New York Dolls.
