Michael McDermott - Need Some Surrender lyrics

Margaret quoted Whitman, and talked about the gra** She had bells around her ankles and spoke of a love that's sure to last I knew of all her tragedy I could see through her veneer She said, "I wish to Christ that somethin' for once would just seem clear" With my life I swore I'd always defend her Now She's gone and I need some surrender In between the hours in which daylight fades away These sad and lonely flowers trampled by decay Can you understand how it gets so hard to stand When everything you once held is taken from your hands The colors danced across the auburn skies of November Now I need some surrender O come all ye faithful Have you ever chased a rainbow or thrown darts up at the moon Ever followed a fallin' star through the windows of your room All the things that we believe in Will all soon pa** away But I'm wiser than I once was And gettin' more foolish every day As a child I played on the streets of promise With hearts of splendor I'm older now, and I need some surrender
