Innocence
Thunder’s below Heavens
Heaven’s below the stars
Stars are attached by invisible thread
To the darkness that is Love
I’ve been reading this Chinese book
It tells me how far I should go
and that hope is a dream like a butterfly wing
and that nature is Heaven’s accord
Nature is Heaven’s accord
And I wish I was Innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want
No one can get
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
If I loved a girl with long golden curls,
and I was a man without guile,
I would never intend the night we would spend
cuz the life of a man is a trial
The life of of a man is a trial
And I wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want
No one can get
I wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent, wish I was innocent
Swingin’ from stars
Too near or too far
Watching them shine
Doin’ my time
Makin’ them mine
Then I leave them behind
Make ‘em mine then I leave ‘em behind
Thus it is said that
Your heart not your head should guide you on thru to the end
And if you should find a love that can bind
Attain it through innocence
Attain it through innocence
And I wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
I know what I want, no one can get
Wish I was innocent
Wish I could believe in it
Know what I want, no one can get
I Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent
Wish I was innocent

Song title changed to Innocence per offical Tortugas release and Raise Up The Tent tracklisting.
Old title was “I Wish I Was Innocent”

Isn’t it, if you cannot find a love that will bind, ATTAIN it through Innocence, not your tainted by innocence
by saying your tainted through innocence, then it is going against everything Trev is trying to portray in this song
EDIT: Fixed! Thanks. -DG

Yea and I thought it was “the life of a man is a trial,” Kinda goes with the whole innocent theme.
EDIT: Fixed that typo too! -Ed.

guile, not god
EDIT: Rhymes with Trial! Got it. Thanks. -Ed
