Only to surender...

I can hear the sound of violins

I can hear the piper play

And every time the song begins

You just steal my heart away

The journey's longer than

I thought my love

There's lots of things

Get in the way

But every time I think of you

You just steal my heart away...

I'm going to be a happy idiot

And struggle for the legal tender

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those things that money can buy

Though true love could have been a contender

Are you there?

Say a prayer for the Pretender

Who started out so young and strong

Only to surrender...
