Mr. Innocence

Hazy lights of a dusty city
a traveler, driven by his dreams
swaying, like a summer mirage
journeys through the dune of time

Is it a theory, ideal, or just one man's need?
What it takes to make us rise

Mr. Innocence, goodbye
My sweet green youthful days
I pray that you forget me I'm already gone
In those times, I had loved only to fulfill myself
Was even proud to sin and now for what's done
must we bear the blame

The sky at night in a child's eye
and the night sky that we see
How did we end up this way?
Can't ever see the world as it was

Is it a passion, teardrop, or a shooting star
that the rain in due time hides?

Mr. Innocence, goodbye
My sweet green youthful days
I pray that you forget me I'm already gone
In those days that I was lost
do believe me when I say
It was you and only you
You're the one I had always loved

In the beauty of a sunset-to-be
naturally I saw my youth, my faults,
my goals, my crimes
I never knew it was merely a fruit
overripe, and past its time

Is it a theory, ideal, or just one man's need
that burnt down the child's dreams?

Mr. Innocence, goodbye
My sweet green youthful days
I pray that you forget me I'm already gone

In those days that I was lost
do believe me when I say
It was you and only you
You're the one I had always loved
