Lyrics

INNOCENT MIND


Woke up this morning
With and innocent mind
Determined to leave some of this
Ancient guilt behind
History is funny
Can turn on a dime
Offering no more than this simple twist of time
And it seemed like only yesterday
What we had would stay
Need I say it again
We can never know what lies ahead around the next bend

Out through this window
Look up this inlet for miles
Some days it reminds me
Of one of your sweet golden smiles
Maybe I am crazy
Thinking we could still be
While I am stuck inside here
And you?re so out there wild and free.
I knew with those storm clouds brewing
You?d be clueing into
What I?d been doing again
We can never know what lies ahead around the next bend

You know they try to tell me that the sun would rise and shine so brilliantly
If I could only clear these clouds from this mind
That dreams these recurring dreams
Where you come back to rescue me
From this place that?s seldom easy to find
And maybe then I wouldn?t have to cling to desperately
To this hope that lingers faintly inside
Cause here from this hideaway I need never say good-bye.

And it seemed like only yesterday
What we had would stay
Need I say any more
We can never know what lies ahead beyond the next door.

You know they try to tell me that the sun would rise and shine so brilliantly
If I could only clear these clouds from this mind
That dreams these recurring dreams
Where you come back to comfort me
In this place that?s seldom easy to find
And maybe then I wouldn?t have to cling to desperately
To this hope that lingers faintly inside

Cause here from this hideaway
Where the nurses say
I might get well one day
I may need never say good-bye.
