I’m like a jackdawCawing at your back doorScratching at your windowpaneHey throw your window wideAnd taste the April night with me againGirl we been veeringBackwards disappearingDown into the murky deepBaby come onWe’ll be a long time goneThat’s time enough for sleepAnd hey now don’t run and hideYour little heart awayIf it’s goneWe’ll sure never find itPining for lost innocenceOur hammers beating hardAgainst that old facardeSome other air to breatheThat we might break these mouldsAnd free our restless soulsStart to believeThat we can rise aboveOur pettiness and loveLike we ain’t loved beforeFree on this earthAs the surf that rollsAnd crashes on the shoreAnd hey now don’t run and hideYour little heart awayIf it’s goneWe’ll sure never find itPining for lost innocenceTantalisingly I sawOur shadows moving through the doorTraces from a different timeWhen I was yours and you were truly mineAll mineAnd I still want you yeahI still want you yeahI still want you yeahI still want you yeahAnd I still want you yeahI still want you yeahI still want you yeahI still want youAnd baby don’t run and hideYour little heart awayIf it’s goneWe’ll sure never find itPining for lost innocencePining for lost innocencePining for lost innocence
