Jonatha Brooke - Last Innocent Year Lyrics

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 nothing's told
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 year
This is my last innocent, innocent year
I swirl your name around my tongue like a dare
Such a sweet and bitter test
I fan my future but I cling to the past
Demons at my heel and my mother at my breast
But you're the only one I want to hold
Love just sputters out and leaves you lost and cold
This is my last innocent year
This is my last innocent year
This 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 ever lost if nothing's told
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 year
This is my last innocent, innocent

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 nothing's told
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 year
This is my last innocent, innocent year
I swirl your name around my tongue like a dare
Such a sweet and bitter test
I fan my future but I cling to the past
Demons at my heel and my mother at my breast
But you're the only one I want to hold
Love just sputters out and leaves you lost and cold
This is my last innocent year
This is my last innocent year
This 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 ever lost if nothing's told
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 year
This is my last innocent, innocent
