The Innocent Years
I need to go down and wash my faceDeep in the river of my old home placeI need to walk in the waters, that once gave me lifeGo over and walk the old railroad tracksSee if I can follow it all the way backBack to where my vision is clearBack to the days of the innocent yearsThough I'd trade it all back inFor just one day like it was back thenBack before just living my life got in the wayTo see my face at sixteen againWhen the boy down the street was my best friendWhen his smile took away my tearsBack in the days of the innocent yearsYou might grow wiser every dayBut there's a price you have to payThe girl I was just disappearedI left her behind in the innocent yearsNow and then when the sun goes downI can see the moon over my hometownI can almost hear the train rushing byI close my eyes and say a prayerTo the wide eyed girl that I lost somewhereLetras de cancionesMaybe someday she'll find me hereAnd lead me back to the innocent yearsYou might grow wiser every dayBut there's a price you have to payGirl I was just disappearedLeft her behind in the innocent yearsWhen I get lost along the wayAnd I can't see the light of dayI can almost feel her nearCalling me back to the innocent years, yeah, yeahThe innocent years, woah, oh From Letras Mania
