The End Of The Innocence Lyrics - The Essential Bruce Hornsby - Bruce Hornsby

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 end 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 

 

But 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 innocence 

 

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
