The End Of The Innocence Lyrics

The End Of The Innocence lyrics

Remember when the days were long

 And rolled beneath a deep blue sky

 Didn't have a care in the world

 With mommy and daddy standin' by

 But "happily ever after" fails

 And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

 The lawyer dwell on small details

 Since daddy had to fly 

 

 But I know a place where we can go

 That's still untouched by men

 We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by

 And the tall grass wave in th4e wind

 You can lay your head back on the ground

 And let your hair fall all around me

 Offer up your best defense 

 But this is the end

 This is the ned of the innocence 

 

 O'beautiful, for spacious skies

 But now those skies are threatening

 They're beating plowshares into swords

 For this tired old man that we elected king

 Armchair warriors often fail

 And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

 The lawyers clean up all details

 Since daddy had to lie 

 

 Bt I know a place where we can go

 And was a away this sin

 We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by

 And the tall grass wave in the wind

 Just lay your head back on the ground

 And let your hair spill all around me

 Offer up your best defense

 But this is the end

 This is the end of the innocnece 

 

 Who knows how long this will last

 Now we've come so far, so fast

 But, somewhere back there in the dust

 That same small town in each of us

 I need to remember this

 So baby give me just one kiss

 And let me take a long last look

 Before we say goodbye 

 

 Just lay your head back on the ground

 And let your hair fall all around me

 Offer up your best defense

 But this is the end

 This is the end of the innocence
