The End of the Innocence

Description




Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
We didn't have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by
Well "happily ever after" fails
And we get poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to lie

But I know a place where we can go
That's still untouched by man
We'll 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

Who knows how long this will last!?
For now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
Lives 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 goodbye!

I know a place where we can go
And wash away the sin
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
So 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

—Don Henley



This one is for someone who remarked upon the portrait just before this one :

"Lightning strikes. It's the natural order of things.  Stand out in the rain long enough and sooner or later you are going to light up like a Christmas tree.  It's only magic when you can repeat it while the sun is shining."

I think he missed the point of the first one.  That's the way it is with most folks .. everybody sees black & white .. but they don't seem to notice the grey.  

So here ya' go!..
 A little more distilled passion .. and a piece of my heart for those of you who enjoy such things; the ones who know it's magic and never question what they see with their heart.  As it has ever been :  

  To those who believe .. no explanation is necessary.  To those who do not believe .. no explanation is possible.


Stay thirsty, my friends!
