END OF THE INNOCENCE - G - Don Henley - Kar
[00:24.65] Remember when the days were long
[00:28.64] And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:33.64] Didn't have a care in the world
[00:36.65] With mommy and daddy standing by
[00:40.90] When "happily ever after" fails
[00:44.64] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:49.14] The lawyers dwell on small details
[00:53.15] Since daddy had to fly
[00:56.90] But i know a place where we can go
[01:01.65] That's still untouched by man
[01:05.39] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[01:09.15] And the tall grass wave in the wind
[01:13.39] You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:17.64] And let your hair fall all around me
[01:21.90] Offer up your best defense
[01:25.64] But this is the end
[01:30.15] This is the end of the innocence
[01:45.65] O' beautiful, for spacious skies
[01:49.90] But now those skies are threatening
[01:54.15] They're beating plowshares into swords
[01:57.64] For this tired old man that we elected king
[02:02.64] Armchair warriors often fail
[02:05.90] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[02:10.39] The lawyers clean up all details
[02:14.40] Since daddy had to lie
[02:18.39] But i know a place where we can go
[02:22.89] And was away this sin
[02:26.90] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[02:30.65] And the tall grass wave in the wind
[02:34.90] Just lay your head back on the ground
[02:38.89] And let your hair spill all around me
[02:43.15] Offer up your best defense
[02:46.89] But this is the end
[02:51.40] This is the end of the innocence
[03:44.64] Who knows how long this will last
[03:47.65] Now we've come so far, so fast
[03:52.39] But, somewhere back there in the dust
[03:55.90] That same small town in each of us
[04:00.90] I need to remember this
[04:04.40] So baby give me just one kiss
[04:08.65] And let me take a long last look
[04:12.40] Before we say good bye
[04:16.65] Just lay your head back on the ground
[04:20.64] And let your hair fall all around me
[04:24.90] Offer up your best defense
[04:28.89] But this is the end
[04:33.15] This is the end of the innocence
