Every day I try to see
the closeness that your promised me,
fades away,
it fades away.
Every night I try to dream
of what you wanted me to be,
in your life,
in your life.
Every dawn the light that wakes you up
will remind you of my touch.
that you miss so much.
What if i died tomorrow?
would you miss me here?
What if i cried tomorrow?
Would you shed your tears?
Every time you think about
the things you said
remind yourself im gone. ( im gone)
I hope you take this as a lesson learned.
Tomorrow isn't promised (nothing's promised.)
Every hour, every day gone by,
you'll cry for me,
you'll cry for me.
What if I died tomorrow?
would you miss me here?
What if I cried tomorrow?
Would you shead your tears?
A story's just been told that has happened yet.
Just a tragic foreshadowing
of what could happen to you.
Think before you speak,
it could be the last time ( the last time)
you ever speak to him.
What if I died tomorrow?
would you miss me here?
What if I cried tomorrow?
Would you shead your tears?
A story's just been told that has happened yet.
Just a tragic foreshadowing
of what could happen...
welcome to my humble all-purpose virtual abode.
Don Henley & Bruce Hornsby - End of The Innocence...
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
Thats still untouched by man
Well 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 defense
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 plowshares 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 was away this sin
Well 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 defense
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 good bye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
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
Thats still untouched by man
Well 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 defense
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 plowshares 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 was away this sin
Well 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 defense
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

And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
