Last Innocent Year Lyrics - Jonatha Brooke

She'll never know what I know 

You can dress her up, but she can't dance 

She'll never take you down like I do 

To the dark side of romance 

Is nothing really lost if nothings told 

'Cause words just stutter out like crisp twenties you unfold 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent, innocent year 

I swirl your name around my tongue like a dare 

Such a sweet and bitter taste 

I fan my future but I cling to the past 

Demons at my heel and my mother at my breast 

'Cause you're the only one I wanna hold 

And love just sputters out and leaves you lost and cold 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent, innocent year 

I know, now I loved you tragically 

Unraveled with your tonic, and gin 

I'll remember your face and your taste and your truth 

And your beauty through the din 

Is nothing really lost if nothings told 

'Cause words just stutter out like crisp twenties you unfold 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent, innocent year 

Innocent year 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent year 

This is my last innocent, innocent 

Innocent, innocent year
