My Innocence Lyrics - Laura Nyro

My innocence, my innocence 

Comes from my mother 

My innocence, my innocence 

Comes from my warm earth mother 

Out along the gravestones 

The sky is speechless 

And my mind 

It blows away 

My innocence, my innocence 

I gave to my lover 

To his lips 

My innocence, my innocence 

I gave to my cold, cold lover 

Earth under my feet 

Splits in the sun 

The nest blows away 

The sweet summer days die young 

I look for the man 

With the Indian hair 

I look for his land 

But it isn't there 

In our room tonight 

Sharing the moon 

To fight the pain 

My innocence, my innocence 

Is a wild thing 

My innocence, my innocence 

Unknown future, it's me and you now 

Unknown moon floating past her 

Mother earth, are you hiding in the laughter 

Of my innocence
