“Where did my innocent little world go?
The one full of dragons and knights?”
Darling, I wish I could say that I know.

“Do you remember when the coldest thing was snow?
When monsters fled when you kissed me good night?
Where did my innocent little world go?”

Here you are, reduced to tears by your foes.
Don’t ask me why they won’t let you take flight.
Darling, I wish I could say that I know.

“Do you remember when flowers would grow?
When I could have opinions without starting a fight?
Where did my innocent little world go?”

If I could stitch innocence, dear, I would sew
Make you a world full of colors so bright-
Oh, darling, I wish I could say that I know.

“I know that you’ll leave me. They all do, you know.”
Just hold my hand, we’ll pretend it’s alright.
“Where did my innocent little world go?”
Darling, I wish I could say that I know.
