8.The End Of The Innocence
Written：Don Henleybruce Hornsby
Arranger：Carl Sealove／Tai-Ming Lee
Remember when the days were long
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
didn't I have a care in the world
with mommy and daddy standing by
but 'happily ever after' falls
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
the lawyers dwell on small details
since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
that's still untouched by men
we'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
and the tall grass waves in the wind
you can lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fall
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
we'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
and the tall grass waves in the wind
you can lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
Who know how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
純真不再
還記得那些日子
白天好長好長天空好藍好藍
無憂無慮的我們對世事還不在乎
因為有爸媽在旁擔待一切
然而那「從此，公主與王子就過著幸福快樂的日子」的寓言
其實並不存在
我們長久以來深受這些童話的毒害
而因為父親的不告而別
律師們忙著處理細節問題
但是我知道還有這麼個地方可去
那裡的一切都尚未受到人類的破壞
我倆可以靜坐默看飄過的雲
和風裡搖擺的長草
在這兒你可以恣意的躺下
任髮絲佈滿我的全身
獻上你對這世界所有的防備
但是要記住純真無知的年代已不復存在
已不復存在
喔! 多美啊! 那一望無際的藍天
而如今藍天似乎都成了威脅
為了那位被我們推選為領袖的疲憊老人
他們必須把犁頭打造成武器
穩坐在安樂椅上的武士往往會遭受失敗
我們長久以來深受這些童話的毒害
因為父親的不誠實
律師們忙著處理細節問題
但是我知道還有這麼個地方可去
那裡我們一切的罪惡都得以被一洗而淨
我倆可以靜坐默看飄過的雲
和風裡搖擺的長草
在這兒你可以恣意的躺下
任髮絲佈滿我的全身
獻上你對這世界所有的防備
但是要記住純真無知的年代已不復存在
已不復存在
天曉得這一切還要持續多久
我們已在這麼短的時間經歷了這麼許多
然而在塵囂遠處
那座熟悉的小鎮仍在我們內心的深處屹立不搖
我必須想辦法去記住這一切
所以親愛的請在我頰上留下一吻
在我們道別離之際
讓我再好好的看你最後一眼
就這麼恣意的躺下吧!
任髮絲佈滿我的全身
獻上你對這世界所有的防備
但是要記住純真無知的年代已不復存在
已不復存在
