FREEDOM FROM INNOCENCE (August 1, 1993)

I remember lying
In alfalfa fields with you
Underneath the stars
And staring at the lights

Bugs buzzed all around us
But we didn't seem to care
And I kissed your naked
Body in the night

Eighteen seems so long ago
I can't recall the words
I said to you with all
My heart and mind

I've sat alone in darkness
On many single days
Wondering if anything
Would come to light

Holding to my inhibitions
Not wanting to fall
I can't keep it hidden
All inside you know

(Chorus)
When I waked across
That stage I knew
Freedom from innocence
When you took me in
Your body I knew
Freedom from innocence
When they laid her
In the cold ground
Freedom from innocence





And I let the spirit take me

And I don't want to go
Through all that reconstruction
Of the past again
Sit down with nostalgic tears
And wonder just where
The hell I've been

I remember meteors
Falling in my life
And I took the chance
To change what I could

All those hours of feeling
Like I never knew the how
And why of life sitting
On the shore

Surrounded by a hundred
Familiar strangers who
Reach out their hands
In quiet disbelief

How did we get this far
We'll never never know
And I wish you all the best
Years of your life
(to chorus)

Freedom from Innocence
