Capture the moment, carry the day
|
Stay with the chase as long as you may
|
Follow the dreamer, the fool and the sage
|
Back to the days of the innocent age
|
Storybook endings never appear
|
They're just someone's way of leading us here
|
Waiting for wisdom to open the cage
|
We forged in the fires of the innocent age
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Back at the start it was easy to see
|
No one to own to, nowhere to be
|
Deep in the heartlands a sad memory calls to me (calls to me)
|
|
Fretful horizons, worrisome skies
|
Tearful misgivings burning your eyes
|
Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you pay
|
To recapture the innocent age
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Fretful horizons, worrisome skies
|
Tearful misgivings burning your eyes
|
Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you
|
Pay to recapture the innocent age
|
