I'll Surrender to You

I’ll surrender tonight, but not the last time,
To what you have on your mind,
Today has been one of those days,
I’ve not been in prime time.

The day began with no sun,
The rain came pouring down,
It was an hour from my house to the bridge,
Another half to town.
  
So whatever you have on your mind tonight,
I’ll be glad to be part of your plan,
To take your mind to a better place,
A place where lovers do what they do,
Any place is just fine with me,
As long as the night remains full of you.

I’ve spent the morning staring out the window,
From the high rise on 57th Street,
Where I saw thousands of people
The size of ants scrambling in retreat.
When I realized I was one of the same,
It really brought me down,
I didn’t feel like the man I am but rather a foolish clown.

I’ve spent the last several years of my life,
Running like no man should run,
I’m in the middle of my career, not nearly close to the end,
But I feel like it has just begun.

I’ve worked long hours, ran with the bulls,
Just did what I had to do,
I’ve expensed my time and my fun,                                    
And precious time I could have had with you.

I want to be a man full blown,
And break right out of my skin.
​
And scream at all the passers-by,
That the rat race will finally end,
And they should take refuge in the arms of their loved one,
And open a bottle of wine,
Because spending time with the one you love,
Is really what is prime time.

So whatever you have on your mind tonight,
I’d like to be part of your plan,
Take my mind to a better place,
A place where lovers do what they do,
Any place is just fine with me,
As long as the night remains full of you.
