innocence
in a sense
gone sometimes to soon
sometimes later
but always gone before too long
the georgia girl won't sleep well tonite
'cause her daddy won't wake up
the u.s. girl will cry herself to sleep
'cause daddy is coming home to sleep underneath a cross
one more dead
one more war
just one more loss of innocence
in a sense
it is always just one more day
of the same thing as yesterday
and the time flows away
into little pools of foolishness
where our innocence used to be
