Remember when the days were long

And rolled beneath a deep blue sky

Didn't have a care in the world

With mother and daddy standin' by

But "happily ever after" fails

And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

The lawyer dwell on small details

Since daddy had to fly

Oh and I know a place where we can go

Still untouched by men

We could sit and watch the clouds roll by

And the tall grass wave in the 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 end end of the innocence

O'beautiful for spacious skies

And now those skies are threatening

They're beating plowshares into swords

For this tired old man that's no longer king

Armchair warriors often fail

And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

The lawyers dwell on small details

Since daddy had to fly

And I know a place where we can go

And wash a away this sin

We'll can sit and watch the clouds roll by

And the tall grass wave in the wind

Just your can lay your head back on the ground

And let your hair spill all around around me

Offer up your best defense

But 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

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

Come and take a long last look

Before we say goodbye

Say goodbye

Can lay your head down on the ground

And let your hair fall all around me

Offer up your best defense

But this is the end

This is the

This is the end

The end of the innocence
