Michael Penn - Innocent One lyrics

Sweet Miranda brings me the wine, we have had our fill

Of almost everything, turning thistledown laughter

I would take her blue cue too late, I would say the words

Almost anything, just to catch what she's after

But you don't believe that I'm a partner in this game

How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?

When the bough broke in pieces, we fell

We would scream and shout almost anything

But the point is, we fell, dear

There will be no more wishlessness

There may be some doubt, no new day without

Best that we say farewell here

But you don't believe that I'm a party to the pain

How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?

Well, I saw this girl crying by the wheel of a car

She had balloons in the back seat, the front door ajar

She never moved, so I whispered goodbye

She reminded me of you when you cry

And I didn't mean to make you cry

Sweet Miranda brings me the wine, we have had our fill

Of almost everything, turning thistledown laughter

I would take her blue cue too late, I would say the words

Almost anything, just to catch what she's after

But you don't believe that I'm a partner in this game

How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?
