Original text with translation

Terms of My Surrender

John Hiatt

When the moon is rising and the night is still

Some of my delusions have the power to kill

Scared I’ll get what I deserve

Or maybe scared I won’t

I’m sitting in my borough staring at my motorcycle

My heart is so heavy, like a stack of Bibles

Where I need too much

Baby, I swear I don’t

'Cause sometimes love can be so wrong

Like a fat man in a thong

It was shamelessly awake

I hold a seashell to ear

And winds of echoed dreams I hear

Reverberations of yesterday

I can be rough

Sometimes I can be tender

But I can’t negotiate

The terms of my surrender

I love you too much, babe

Go on and have your way with me Well, emperors and reigning kings

Have showered you with golden rings

Now I stand with my hat in my hand

I know that I can’t compete

With ruthless men and satin sheets

But I’m ready to meet your demands

Wars and glory, and ashes and dust

At the end of the story there’s just us I love you too much, baby

To ever say goodbye
