The End of The Innocence — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

Remember when the days were long

And rolled beneath a deep blue sky

Didnt have a care in the world

With mommy and daddy standin by

But "happily ever after" fails

And weve 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

Thats still untouched by men

Well 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 ned of the innocence



Obeautiful, for spacious skies

But now those skies are threatening

Theyre beating plowshares into swords

For this tired old man that we elected king

Armchair warriors often fail

And weve been poisoned by these fairy tales

The lawyers clean up all details

Since daddy had to lie



Bt I know a place where we can go

And was a away this sin

Well 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 innocnece



Who knows how long this will last

Now weve 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
