Lyrics

Innocence In A Sense
Ac George Goodridge 1996
Words and music

Well I lost my baby somewhere on the road,
So I turned my collar high against the cold,
Living for the street is hell,
I could never perceive it that well,
Heaven knows if I'll ever find my way home
Did I turn my back on Nirvana,
Or wind up here by fate,
Has the wine turned into water,
Or maybe it's just too late,

I'm looking for innocence
In a sense,
I'm looking for innocence
In a sense

Should I take my chance and put my six gun down,
Takes the edge off of knowing if you're lost or found
Though I've done my murder two or less,
I'm not sure that I had to confess
In lieu of what I thought I've found
Well I do my understanding
When a good love slips away
And I don't mind being branded
If you just let me have my say

I'm looking for innocence
In a sense
I'm looking for innocence
In a sense

When the dawn begins a breaking
And I put my head to rest
And my mind is lying naked
From too many promises

I'm looking for innocence
In a sense
I'm looking for innocence
In a sense

When the dice begin to tumble
Does the gambler have a clue
Does the arm this country's making break your heart into
There's a simple quest in life and death
That I don't know it hasn't happened yet
Some say your horizon lies inside of you
Still my cards are on the table
And there's music in the air
Guess I'll take just what I am able
And I hope that I miss the snare

I'm looking for innocence
In a sense
Still looking for
Innocence in a sense
