An Innocent Man - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - 2006

Some people stay far away from the door
 If there's a chance of it opening up
 They hear a voice in the hall outside
 And hope that it just passes by
 Some people live with the fear of a touch
 And the anger of having been a fool
 They will not listen to anyone
 So nobody tells them a lie
 I know you're only protecting yourself
 I know you're thinking of somebody else
 Someone who hurt you
 But I'm not above
 Making up for the love
 You've been denying you could ever feel
 I'm not above doing anything
 To restore your faith if I can
 Some people see through the eyes of the old
 Before they ever get a look at the young
 I'm only willing to hear you cry
 Because I am an innocent man
 ♪
 I am an innocent man
 Oh yes I am
 ♪
 Some people say they will never believe
 Another promise they hear in the dark
 Because they only remember too well
 They heard somebody tell them before
 Some people sleep all alone every night
 Instead of taking a lover to bed
 Some people find that it's easier to hate
 Than to wait anymore
 I know you don't want to hear what I say
 I know you're gonna keep turning away
 But I've been there and if I can survive
 I can keep you alive
 I'm not above going through it again
 I've not above being cool for a while
 If you're cruel to me I'll understand
 Some people run from a possible fight
 Some people figure they can never win
 And although this is a fight I can lose
 The accused is an innocent man
 ♪
 I am an innocent man
 Oh yes I am
 An innocent man
 
 You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
 I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
 That's your decision
 But I'm not below
 Anybody I know
 If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
 I'm not above going back to the start
 To find out where the heartache began
 Some people hope for a miracle cure
 Some people just accept the world as it is
 But I'm not willing to lay down and die
 Because I am an innocent man
 ♪
 I am an innocent man
 Oh yes I am
 An innocent man
