Innocent One Lyrics - Michael Penn

Sweet Miranda brings me the wine 

We have had our fill 

of almost everything 

turning thistledown laughter 

I would take her blue cue too late 

I would say the words 

almost anything 

just to catch what she's after 

but you don't believe that I'm 

a partner in this game 

how can you believe that I'm the innocent one 

When the bow broke in pieces we fell 

we would scream and shout 

almost anything 

but the point is we fell dear 

There will be no more wishlessness 

There may be some doubt 

No new day without 

Best that we say farewell here 

but you don't believe that I'm 

a party to the pain 

how can you believe that I'm the innocent one 

I saw this girl crying 

by the wheel of her car 

she had balloons in the back seat 

the front door ajar 

She never moved so I just whispered goodbye 

she reminded me of you when you cry 

and I didn't mean to make you cry 

Sweet Miranda brings me the wine 

We have had our fill 

of almost everything 

turning thistledown laughter 

I would take her blue cue too late 

I would say the words 

almost anything 

just to catch what she's after 

but you don't believe that I'm 

a partner in this game 

how can you believe that I'm the innocent one
