lyrics

To Yield

Can't slow down
Can't relate
Sure ain't got time to wait
No poet's son
No setting sun
Hope it's not too late
A blue-er sea
A brighter she
Got me on the run
A loveless whore
A frightening bore
I am the one

To whom it might be of some interest
Rome wasn't build to last

Can't hold up
Can't pretend
To be the same again
To laugh about
To scream and shout
But I really became another man
There's no way around
The sweetest sound
Of waves crushing on the shore
A willing slave
A soul to save
That's me for sure

To whom it might be of some interest
Rome wasn't build to last
To whom it might be of some concern
There's really nothing here that you could learn

To yearn
To yield
To give
To live
To break
To forsake
To grieve
To leave
To hope
To win
To spin
Out of control

Hidden from the anger of angels
Hidden among the stones in the field
Soon it's time to lose all your inhibitions
Soon it's time to yield and simply stop
