Sweet Surrender

connemaramusic

Surrender, sweet surrender
Don’t fall back just yet
I give myself completely
I swear I’m not a threat

I’m running up the white flag
I’m throwing up my hands
You’ve taken me your prisoner
I am at your command

Surrender, sweet surrender
I gave myself away
Who cares who won the battle
Who cares who saved the day

Surrender, sweet surrender
I made this mess for you
To occupy your time
The long night through

The fighting’s got me tired
I’m almost at wit’s end
I’m looking for a conqueror
To fence me in

Surrender, sweet surrender
I’ll lay my weapon down
I’m giving you the city keys
Surrendering my crown

Take me to your dungeon
And chain me to the wall
It’s nice to have a torturer
At my beck and call

Surrender, sweet surrender
I gave myself away
I’ll let you have it all
If you lead me astray

Surrender, sweet surrender…
