Chris Rodriguez Album: Beggar's Paradise Track: Retreat
Retreat Lyrics
I have hurt you with a bullet from my tongue My eyes have fired a shot much like a gun I want to undo the things I've done But I'm paralysed
The sword that I use is worn with rust These weapons of war should turn to dust I'm a benedict arnold you can't trust Please don't hang me now
Chorus: I was wounded on the battleground you see And my blinded eyes they could not see So I'm holding out the white flag on my knees I will retreat
I've been digging in these trenches for so long And the hole I'm sitting in is deep as sin And this war's been dragging on for so long Who ever wins?
Chorus
Well the smoke on the plain has slowy drifted It's been a long time since I've seen a sunny day And the veil over my eyes has been lifted It's fallling away
Chorus: I am leaving the battleground you see And I'm hoping you'll leave here with me So i''m crying out baby on my knees Come and retreat Yes I'm crying out baby on my kness Come and retreat
