I Surrender by David Sylvian

I (1)____________ up the pathway of the heart
The flowers died embittered from the start

That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrendered

I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy
His life of sorrows now collapsing (2)________ joy

And (3)______________ the stars are all aligned and I surrender
My mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrender

Recording angels and the (4)__________ of the night
Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight

Searchlights (5)________ the open skies and I surrender

Outrageous 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 surrender

I 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 surrender

I've travelled all this way for your embrace
Enraptured by the recognition on (6)________ face

Hold me now while my old (7)________ dies tonight and I surrender
My mother cries beneath the open (8)__________ and I surrender

An 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 surrender

She 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 surrender
My mother cries beneath the moonlit (9)__________ and I surrender

My body turns to ashes in her hands
The disappearing world of footprints in the sand

Tell me now (10)________ this love will never die and I'll surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender
