INNOCENCE LOST by Tom Jensen full lyrics click (more) poemsbytom.com INNOCENSE LOST I've sat at every bench in this park Both before and after dark Looking out at an ocean oh so deep When everyone else is asleep I see the sailboats stopped Lookin' just like upside down lollipops I see the seagulls pecking Down by the beach But it all seems out of reach Take off my shirt to get a tan Wondering about life's master plan Just when my troubles start to fade away I have to go to work soon so I cannot stay But oh what a price I pay... As soon as you're high Something brings you down As soon as you smile Something makes you frown As soon as you blink The second has passed As soon as you're first You wind up last This world can be such a tease As soon as I feel That my mind's at ease Just when I think I have it made Rain falls down on my parade I've had my shares Of ups and downs Cried like mimes And laughed like clowns I've been dwarfed by guilt And knocked off of my stilts I've seen the flowers bloom And I have watched the pedals wilt Here at the park I collect my thoughts Try to find a pair of scissors When I'm tied up in knots Then these words Became my thoughts... As soon as you're high Something brings you down As soon as you smile Something makes you frown As soon as you blink The second has passed As soon as you're close You run out of gas I watch the children I've seen so many times before And their innocent eyes Not yet knowing what's in store With every game comes a new surprise Every truth told contains At least a part of a lie Under a parent's eye they run so free Not a worry in the world The way life should be And yet as they grow a little older The winds blow a little colder But we all know it is calm Before the storm Mommy still has a blanket To keep them warm She protects them for as long as she can There are some things children Should never have to understand Don't tell them the secret... As soon as you're high Something brings you down As soon as you smile Something makes you frown As soon as you blink The second has passed As soon as the sun rises The shadow's been cast Yes I was once a child many years ago And I learned the hard way The things I didn't know Life was once so simple But like a gun shot to the temple I was told I couldn't go any higher And then was thrown into the fire Now all I can do is dream Back to the days When my own eyes did gleam Someday when everyone is asleep That same child will come here to weep And they too will write their song About how the innocence They once knew is gone And they'll say... As soon as I'm high Something brings me down As soon as I smile Something makes me frown As soon as I blinked My childhood passed What I loved so much... I want it back
