Lost Innocence
(Coverture of Lost Innocence and Fragile Youth)

She asked me how I was doing - was something wrong with me
Maybe I should have told her the thoughts from deep within my mind
I sat here waiting by the phone - praying she'd finally see
That I can ease her needs - she no longer has to seek to find

Love and truth - oh, and fragile youth
I came here to relay my proof
I've been here right along
Can I move you closer with a song?

She asked me how my days went - the few spent in between
Times we are together - I hide the hurt, say: "It's been OK"
Something keeps calling me though heartbreak overruled that scene
It's all these things she said and she did - that's what led me so astray...

Love and truth - oh, and shattered youth
I've been there - so, I know the truth
And I'm right here for you - all along
Trading touch is timeless - it makes us strong

No more time chasing innocence
No more crying over lost youth
There's no shame in this heart of mine
I'm gonna love you a long, long time
Lost innocence...

If there has been deceit here - I'd hate to ever see that proven
For betrayal is a slanderer and she knows how I hate lies
False innocence entraps me - so I followed the course any guy might choose
Kept on trusting evermore - opening my heart - to heal the hurt
Within her eyes...
Anxious disguise...
Within her eyes...
Anxious disguise - and naked alibis

Love and truth - oh, and fragile youth
I came back here to relay the truth
And I've been here for you all along
Did I move you closer - with a song?

What's this life to be from here on in - I really need to know
Magick and the flower of your spent youth somehow attracted me
Thoughts remain yeah - there's no blame yeah - all they say is: "All systems go..."
When I finally said, "I love you," though - as if you didn't know -
                                            Neither did you turn to flee...

Love and truth - oh, and fragile youth
I came here to relay the proof
I've been here for you right along
Trading touch is timeless - it's kept us strong...

No more time chasing innocence
No more cryin' over lost youth
There's no shame in this heart of mine
I'm gonna love you a long, long time...

There's no shame in this heart of mine
I'm gonna love you through all of time...

Stop your playin' with this heart of mine
I want you near me for all of time...

Lost innocence...
