Surrender

Oh, the nights were dark and cold,
   When my love was gone.
And life was hard to hold
   When my love was gone.
I was wise, I never gave
What they teach a girl to save,
But I wished myself his slave
   When my love was gone.

I was all alone at night
   When my love came home.
Oh, what thought of wrong or right
   When my love came home?
I flung the door back wide
And I pulled my love inside;
There was no more shame or pride
   When my love came home.
