Beverley Knight - Goodbye Innocence lyrics

rate me

Goodbye innocence, you didn't stay too long You were her haven, her solace while she was young But Fate decreed that fear would form her personality And she would cry when daylight passed, knowing that the night would bring ...Daddy Goodbye innocence, you made her happy Goodbye innocence, you saved her from pain But you weren't enough, to break the heavy fall Goodbye Goodbye innocence Now a woman, her character's 'unclean' Childhood haunts her, she's fighting the things unseen A slave to memory, relived as she sleeps And freedom like the prisoner, whose fate is sealed by hate Is a dream Chorus If only she found a reason to trust somebody She would find a friend in me, o yes See, I can't take away the pain, that she endured no, no, no But I try to ease her misery Chorus
