Incomplete Surrender - Peter Hammill

Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing

Sweetheart, I want to give my all

Roll on the feminine side

The lion lies down with the lamb

Beneath the male surface

The chaos merchant, we’re all half-human:

Understand only love’s not blind

Only love surrenders up the heart

The woman’s heavy with the future

With intuition unalloyed;

Behind the smirk of the macho man

Is the quivering lip of the little boy

Put it all in place, I can almost taste it

So I surrender up my heart

I want nothing more than to be

One for once, to feel you one with me;

No finer mystery, no mystery when we start

To surrender up our hearts

Sweetheart

I want nothing more than to be

One for once, to feel you one with me;

There’s no mystery, no mystery when we start

To surrender up our hearts

Where’s the bridge to take us

Across the sexual divide?

What arc of heaven makes us complete

Makes the planets clash and the stars collide?

With emotions bare we were both alive

For a second there

And we both surrendered up our hearts

Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing

Sweetheart, I want to give my all

And we both surrendered

Incomplete surrender…
