Gerry Rafferty Sweet Surrender Lyrics

Sweet Surrender Lyrics

Got to leave, got to go downtown

Got to see the man who won't beat around

He understands what we've got to do

And everything he says rings true.



Walking in this wilderness, wearing out my shoes

Staring at the living dead, peddling my blues

I might be in heaven or I might be in hell

I don't know which is which, sometimes you just can't tell.



Sweet surrender

Sweet surrender



I wake up every morning, I lie down every night

As long as I believe in love, I know it's gonna be alright.

I try to keep it simple, take it one day at a time

When I'm losing my direction, well that ain't no crime



Sweet surrender

Sweet surrender



But everytime we drift away into the magic of the night

You hold me close and I hear you say

Sweet surrender (surrender)



Living in the electronic world

Living in the molecular world

Living in the electronic world

Living in the molecular world



Check into hotels, checking out the street

Air-conditioned Cadillacs when I can't stand the heat

I just hit another road-block and I'm runnin' out of gas

I've got this white line fever, but I know that it won't last.



Sweet surrender

Sweet surrender



But everytime we drift away into the magic of the night

You hold me close and I hear you say

Sweet surrender (surrender)



Got to leave, got to go downtown

Got to see the man who won't beat around

He understands what we've got to do

And everything he says rings true.



Sweet sweet, sweet surrender

Sweet sweet, sweet surrender

Sweet sweet, sweet surrender

Sweet sweet, sweet surrender



[Fade]

(sweet sweet)

Living in the electronic world

Living in the molecular world
