Artist : Bruce Hornsby    Title : []    -----------------    [Remember when the days were long    And rolled beneath a deep blue sky    Didn't have a care in the world    With mommy and daddy standing by    When "happily ever after" fails    And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales    The lawyers dwell on small details    Since daddy had to fly       But I know a place where we can go    That's still untouched by man    We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by    And the tall grass wave in the wind       You can lay your head back on the ground    And let your hair fall all around me    Offer up your best defence    But this is the end    This is the end of the innocence       O' beautiful, for spacious skies    But now those skies are threatening    They're beating ploughshares into swords    For this tired old man that we elected king    Armchair warriors often fail    And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales    The lawyers clean up all details    Since daddy had to lie       But I know a place where we can go    And wash away this sin    We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by    And the tall grass wave in the wind       Just lay your head back on the ground    And let your hair spill all around me    Offer up your best defence    But this is the end    This is the end of the innocence       Who knows how long this will last    Now we've come so far, so fast    But, somewhere back there in the dust    That same small town in each of us    I need to remember this    So baby give me just one kiss    And let me take a long last look    Before we say goodbye       Just lay your head back on the ground    And let your hair fall all around me    Offer up your best defence    But this is the end    This is the end of the innocence       ]
