Age of Innocence Songtext
von Black Rivers

On and on they cannot stop
From sunrise on to the morning frost
Sold to the sound of a ticking clock
Age of the innocent is all but lost

Again and again they couldn′t stop
Carried on till the penny drops
Aim of the innocent is all I've got
Age of the innocent is all but gone

To be there, to be there
To comfort, it′s all there
Age of the innocent is all I've got
To be there, to be there
To comfort, it's so rare
It′s all there, it′s all there
The age of decay that time forgot
The age of the innocent is all I've got


Far away in a distant land
From Lancashire to the desert sands
They play a bad hand with a knowing eye
Then sold to the man as another lie
Again and again it always cost
It carries on, it never stops
Across the towns and decaying blocks
The age of the innocent is all but gone
Is all but gone

To be there, to be there
To comfort, it′s so rare
Age of the innocent is all I've got
To be there, to be there
To comfort, it′s so rare
It's all there, it′s all there
The age of decay that time forgot
The age of the innocent is all I've got

Is all I've got
Is all I′ve got
Is all I′ve got

Time and again it always cost
Again and again they couldn't stop
Again and again and again and again
The age of the innocent is all I′ve got


To be there, to be there
To comfort, it's so rare
The age of decay is all I′ve got
To be there, to be there
To comfort, it's so rare
The age of decay that time forgot
The age of the innocent is all I′ve got
