Retreat

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

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?

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

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
