The Cure

The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white
And slowly dreaming
Stops all time

I slow my steps and start to blur
So many years
Have filled my heart
I never thought I'd say those words

The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show

The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show ourselves

The very first time
I saw your face
I thought of a song
And quickly changed the tune

The very first time
I touched your skin
I thought of a story
And rushed to reach the end too soon

Oh, remember
Oh, please don't change

And so the fall came
Thirteen years, a shiny ring
And how I could
Forget your name

The air no longer
In my throat, so another
Perfect lie is choked
But it always feels the same

So they close together
Dressed in red and yellow
Innocent forever, sleeping children
In their blue soft rooms still dream

The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show

The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show
