The End Of The Innocence - Remastered 2003

Do you remember when our days were long
 Rolled beneath the deep blue sky?
 Didn't have a care in the world
 Mother and daddy standin' by
 "Happily ever after" fails
 We've been poisoned by these fairy tales
 Lawyers dwell on small details
 Since daddy had to fly
 Oh, and I know a place where we can go
 That's still untouched by men
 Oh, we could sit and watch the clouds roll by
 Tall grass waves in the wind
 Oh, you can lay your head back on the ground
 Let your hair fall all around me
 Offer up your best defense
 For this is the end
 Oh, this is the end, end of the innocence
 ♪
 Oh, beautiful for spacious skies
 Now those skies are threatening now
 Beating plowshares into swords
 For that tired old man that's no longer king
 Armchair warriors often fail
 We've been poisoned by these fairy tales
 Lawyers dwell on small details
 Since daddy had to fly
 Oh, and I know a place where we can go
 And wash away this sin
 Or we could sit and watch the clouds roll by
 Tall grass waves in the wind
 Or you can lay your head back on the ground
 Let your hair fall all around me
 Offer up your best defense
 For this is the end
 This is the end, end of the innocence
 ♪
 Who knows how long this will last
 How we've come so far so fast?
 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
 Come and take a long last look
 Before we say goodbye, goodbye
 Can lay your head back on the ground
 Let your hair fall all around
 Offer up your best defense
 Offer up your best defense
 Offer up your best defense
 For this is the end
 This is the end
 This is the end
 Of the innocence
