1
Remember when the days were long
2
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
3
Didn't have a care in the world
4
With mommy and daddy standing by
5
When "happily ever after" fails
6
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
7
The lawyers dwell on small details
8
Since daddy had to fly
9
But I know a place where we can go
10
That's still untouched by man
11
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
12
And the tall grass wave in the wind
13
You can lay your head back on the ground
14
And let your hair fall all around me
15
Offer up your best defense
16
But this is the end
17
This is the end of the innocence
18
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
19
But now those skies are threatening
20
They're beating plowshares into swords
21
For this tired old man that we elected king
22
Armchair warriors often fail
23
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
24
The lawyers clean up all details
25
Since daddy had to lie
26
But I know a place where we can go
27
And was away this sin
28
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
29
And the tall grass wave in the wind
30
Just lay your head back on the ground
31
And let your hair spill all around me
32
Offer up your best defense
33
But this is the end
34
This is the end of the innocence
35
Who knows how long this will last
36
Now we've come so far, so fast
37
But, somewhere back there in the dust
38
That same small town in each of us
39
I need to remember this
40
So baby give me just one kiss
41
And let me take a long last look
42
Before we say good bye
43
Just lay your head back on the ground
44
And let your hair fall all around me
45
Offer up your best defense
46
But this is the end
47
This is the end of the innocence
