Sweet Surrender by Jakob Kupferberg Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were the children of forever
We drank from the fountain by the river

[Verse 2]
Sweet surrender
I remember
I remember

[Chorus 1]
All the days
We spent running away
Our lives would never be the same
Sweet surrender was calling out my name
It was calling out my name

[Verse 3]
Shooting stars in the sky like treasures
We’re dancing feathers in the night wherеver

[Verse 4]
We werе together
I remember
I remember
[Chorus 2]
All the days
We spent running astray
Our lives would never be the same
Sweet surrender was calling out my name
It was calling out my name

[Post-Chorus]
Whole world's within walking distance
And we all need a little talking assistance
We're all closer now - yet further apart
We’re all waging war save me a place in Noah’s Ark

Cause we’re running out of time
And the whole world seems to be losing it's goddamn mind
We’re so far away from where we used to be
Tell me what happened to our faith in humanity?

[Chorus 3]
All this thinking
Has led me astray
I’m thinking back to the days
When everything was so easy
Sweet surrender I’m calling out your name

[Bridge]
Young lovers on the side walk
Under cover of the high talk
Sun glasses melting ice cream
Life was but an innocent dream
Young feathers in the night sky
Children of forever, forever just slipped by
Late night taxis on the high street
Sweet surrender to the city beat

[Outro]
Sweet surrender to the city beat
Sweet surrender to the city beat
Sweet surrender to the city beat
That’s all I need
