Innocence Songtext

von Tea Leaf Green

Thunder's below Heavens
Heaven's below the stars
Stars are attached by invisible thread
To the darkness that is Love

I've been reading this Chinese book
It tells me how far I should go
And that hope is a dream like a butterfly wing
And that nature is Heaven's accord
Nature is Heaven's accord

And I wish I was Innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want
No one can get
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent

If I loved a girl with long golden curls,
And I was a man without guile,
I would never intend the night we would spend
Cuz the life of a man is a trial
The life of of a man is a trial

And I wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want
No one can get
I wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent, wish I was innocent

Swingin' from stars
Too near or too far
Watching them shine
Doin' my time
Makin' them mine
Then I leave them behind

Make ‘em mine then I leave ‘em behind

Thus it is said that
Your heart not your head should guide you on thru to the end
And if you should find a love that can bind
Taint it through innocence
Attain it through innocence

And I wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
I know what I want, no one can get

Wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want, no one can get

I Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
