SWEET SURRENDER-BY Sarah Mclachlan

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

Revolution Fredrich sighed as she scuffed her way to the Bottle ALley
Lodging House. Her only remaining family member was dead. After all
he had been through, her father died of a heart attack.

"Itey" she whispered as she headed away from her home and to the boy
she loved.

Itey had seen throught the toughened exterior of the young Irish
woman and had helped her heal.

And sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

ITey was the only person Revolution felt completely safe with. The
only person who knew everything about her sordid bloody past.


You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

"Rev?" asked Itey as a figure with familiar bright red hair stumbled
in from the storm.

His girlfriend's beautiful eyes shined with unshed tears.He longed to
know what plaqued her but he knew better than to ask. he just held
her and stroked her long hair.

Sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

Itey had never expected to fall for someone who was so different from
him. She had captured his heart though from the first time he laid
eyes on her. She had this way of making him feel like everything
would be all right.



And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

"Is it your dad?" he whispered knowing that after the fight they had
had, she would have not come to him unless she needed him.

I miss the little things
I miss everything (about you)

"And I missed you"

Their fight had been one of their fiercest yet. he had accused her of
sneaking around with Fiddle, a fiddle playing Brooklyn Newsy. He
hadn't realized he was wrong until Spot had told him about Fiddle's
girlfriend Aurora. He had felt like a world class ass.

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room

"I'm sorry" he whispered.

"It doesn't matter now" she replied kissing him.


And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

She just wanted it to go away, the hurt from their fight. The grief
over her father's death. She just wanted to forget it all and
remember that Itey Loved her faults and all.
