Innocent When You Dream

Lyrics

The bats are in the belfry, the dew is on the moor

Where are the arms that held me and pledged to love before

And pledged to love before

And it’s such a sad old feeling

All of the fields are soft and green

And it’s memories that I’m stealing

But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream

You are innocent when you dream

I made a golden promise that we would never part

I gave my love a locket and then I broke her heart

And then I broke her heart

And it’s such a sad old feeling

All of the fields are soft and green

And it’s memories that I’m stealing

But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream

You are innocent when you dream

We're running through the graveyard and we laughed, my friends and I

We swore we’d be together until the day we died

Until the day we died

And it’s such a sad old feeling

All of the fields are soft and green

And it’s memories that I’m stealing

But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream

You are innocent when you dream

And it’s such a sad old feeling

All of the fields are soft and green

And it’s memories that I’m stealing

But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream

You are innocent when you dream
