| Your innocence has gone
|
| Oh you have lost your sense of wonder
|
| Embraced you as you shone
|
| But tore your child-like world asunder
|
| The led you on and on but they
|
| Didn’t mean to do you wrong
|
| Darling
|
| It’s your greatest shade of blue
|
| Lose it before it bleeds right through
|
| So much more than you can do
|
| I’m counting on you
|
| Now your mother’s stately crown
|
| Slips to show just what she’s thinking
|
| While your daddy’s losing ground
|
| Can’t believer his ship is sinking
|
| They pushed you on and on
|
| Then asked just where did we go wrong
|
| If you run now please don’t look behind
|
| Send them flowers explaining this is the way it was meant to be
|
| Darling
|
| It’s your greatest shade of blue
|
| Lose it before it bleeds right through
|
| Trade it in for something new
|
| I’m counting on you
|
| It’s your greatest shade of blue
|
| Lose it before it bleeds right through
|
| So much more than you can do
|
| I’m counting on you
|
| I’m counting on you
|
| I’m counting on you |
