Incomplete Surrender Lyrics by Peter Hammill

Fireships

0

[Instrumental Intro]

[Chorus]
Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing
Sweetheart, I want to give my all

[Verse 1]
Roll on the feminine side
The lion lies down with the lamb
Beneath the male surface
The chaos merchant, we're all half-human:
Understand only love's not blind
Only love surrenders up the heart
(Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing)

[Verse 2]
The woman's heavy with the future
With intuition unalloyed;
Behind the smirk of the macho man
Is the quivering lip of the little boy
Put it all in place, I can almost taste it
So I surrender up my heart

[Bridge]
I want nothing more than to be
One for once, to feel you one with me;
No finer mystery, no mystery when we start
To surrender up our hearts

Sweetheart
Sweetheart
Sweetheart

I want nothing more than to be
One for once, to feel you one with me;
There's no mystery, no mystery when we start
To surrender up our hearts

[Verse 3]
Where's the bridge to take us
Across the sexual divide?
What arc of heaven makes us complete
Makes the planets clash and the stars collide?
With emotions bare we were both alive
For a second there
And we both surrendered up our hearts

[Chorus]
Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing
Sweetheart, I want to give my all
Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing
Sweetheart

[Outro]
And we both surrendered (Sweetheart)
Incomplete surrender... (Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing)
And we both surrendered (Sweetheart, I want to give my all)
Incomplete surrender... (Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing)
And we both surrendered (Sweetheart)
Incomplete surrender... (Sweetheart)
Incomplete surrender... (Sweetheart)
Incomplete surrender... (Sweetheart)
Incomplete surrender...
