Written By Beverley Knight

|
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
