Margaret quoted Whitman, and talked about the grassShe had bells around her ankles and spoke of a love that's sure to lastI knew of all her tragedyI could see through her veneerShe said, "I wish to Christ that somethin' for once would just seem clear"With my life I swore I'd always defend herNow She's gone and I need some surrenderIn between the hours in which daylight fades awayThese sad and lonely flowers trampled by decayCan you understand how it gets so hard to standWhen everything you once held is taken from your handsThe colors danced across the auburn skies of NovemberNow I need some surrenderO come all ye faithfulHave you ever chased a rainbow or thrown darts up at the moonEver followed a fallin' star through the windows of your roomAll the things that we believe inWill all soon pass awayBut I'm wiser than I once wasAnd gettin' more foolish every dayAs a child I played on the streets of promiseWith hearts of splendorI'm older now, and I need some surrender From Letras Mania
