The End of the Innocence - Don Henley

Tell me do you remember The games and the laughter? Far from the choices we'd have to make A kiss on the lips turned the toad to a prince And the end was a lifetime away I pour myself onto this page And I'm writing a swan song for ages I will leave it behind And just maybe you will remember me It's the end of an innocent era The beauty we know will be lost We're building a bridge between heaven and hell To return again And why must a hero die young? Not to be gone and forgotten So I pray for the broken this is not the end of innocence Now it's me and my knife and my will is my temple Numb from the choices I have to make Slowly we all took a bite of the apple And laughter's a lifetime away (Remember me) And I pour myself onto this page I am writing a swan song for ages I will leave it behind And just maybe you will remember me It's the end of an innocent era The beauty we know will be lost We're building a bridge between heaven and hell To return again And why must a hero die young? Not to be gone and forgotten So I pray for the broken this is not the end of innocence Of innocence Where do we go from here? It's the end of an innocent era The beauty we know will be lost We're building a bridge between heaven and hell To return again And why must a hero die young? Not to be gone and forgotten so I pray for the broken This is not the end of innocence

There was a dark And all this There was a darkness I liked Dancing on the sails on dawn Dancing on the sails and they're gone I brought this I brought it for you I brought the sight, I brought the light I brought the time you wanted I brought it like a savior and I Knew what I couldn't do Drowning like a savior And I knew what I could So much I could never do You said it was easy To see you with your eyes closed That there was nothing to me Seeing through me There was nothing to me No one knew me The lightless floor, the closing doors Falling up, just see me once more I know I'm scared
