The Innocent Years |
I need to go down and wash my face |
Deep in the river of my old homeplace |
I need to walk in the waters that once gave me life |
Go over and walk the old railroad tracks |
See if I can follow it all the way back |
Back to where my vision is clear |
Back to the days of the innocent years |
You know I’d trade it all back in |
For just one day like it was back then |
Back before just living my life got in the way |
To see my face at sixteen again |
When the boy down the street was my best friend |
When his smile took away my tears |
Back in the days of the innocent years |
You might grow wiser every day |
But there’s a price you have to pay |
The girl I was just disappeared |
I left her behind in the innocent years |
Now and then when the sun goes down |
I can see the moon over my hometown |
I can almost hear the train rushing by |
I close my eyes and I say a prayer |
To the wide-eyed girl that I lost somewhere |
Maybe someday she’ll find me here |
And lead me back to the innocent years |
You might grow wiser every day |
But there’s a price you have to pay |
The girl I was just disappeared |
I left her behind in the innocent years |
When I get lost along the way |
And I can’t see the light of day |
I can almost feel her near |
Calling me back to the innocent years |
The innocent years |
