End of the innocence - Don Henley
[00:25.13] Remember when the days were long
[00:28.88] And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:33.88] Didn't have a care in the world
[00:37.13] With mommy and daddy standing by
[00:41.63] When "happily ever after" fails
[00:45.13] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:49.63] The lawyers dwell on small details
[00:53.64] Since daddy had to fly
[00:57.88] But i know a place where we can go
[01:02.88] That's still untouched by man
[01:05.88] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[01:10.13] And the tall grass wave in the wind
[01:14.13] You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:18.38] And let your hair fall all around me
[01:22.88] Offer up your best defense
[01:26.88] But this is the end
[01:31.13] This is the end of the innocence
[01:46.88] O' beautiful, for spacious skies
[01:51.38] But now those skies are threatening
[01:55.89] They're beating plowshares into swords
[01:59.38] For this tired old man that we elected king
[02:04.13] Armchair warriors often fail
[02:07.88] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[02:11.88] The lawyers clean up all details
[02:15.88] Since daddy had to lie
[02:20.13] But i know a place where we can go
[02:24.38] And was away this sin
[02:28.38] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[02:32.38] And the tall grass wave in the wind
[02:36.38] Just lay your head back on the ground
[02:40.64] And let your hair spill all around me
[02:45.13] Offer up your best defense
[02:48.88] But this is the end
[02:53.38] This is the end of the innocence
[03:30.63] Who knows how long this will last
[03:34.13] Now we've come so far, so fast
[03:38.88] But, somewhere back there in the dust
[03:42.38] That same small town in each of us
[03:46.88] I need to remember this
[03:50.14] So baby give me just one kiss
[03:55.38] And let me take a long last look
[03:58.88] Before we say good bye
[04:02.88] Just lay your head back on the ground
[04:07.13] And let your hair fall all around me
[04:11.39] Offer up your best defense
[04:15.13] But this is the end
[04:19.63] This is the end of the innocence
