White Innocence Lyrics

She drifted from some minor festival Didn't look like any summer of love Just a thousand weekend warriors in a muddy field She was the hand to fit my glove
Funny thing, the innocence of the lonely Funny thing, the charm of the young
See how she moves just like two angels In white innocence Yet one of them was on the run
The other's tapping at my car window And I'm squinting through the sun Trying to see if she's some child of the nineties Or just another dangerous fantasy of mine
Yeah, white innocence, white innocence White innocence, she was white innocence
A perfect hole was in her stocking It made a perfect window to her heart I could have moved among her waterfalls Her misty curtains drawn apart
Did she see warm safety in my numbers? To wanna hitch a ride this way Felt like I was taking her to market now To be sold as the last lot of the day
Funny thing, the distance of the lonely Funny thing, the charm of the young
White innocence, white innocence [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/white-innocence-lyrics-jethro-tull.html ] White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white, white innocence
She pressed the button, lowered the window Let her hand trail in the slipstream of the night A frost from nowhere seemed to lick her fingers I could have warmed them but the moment wasn't right
Obvious, she was headed nowhere special Yeah, well, it was even obvious to me I was doing some, some watching, some waiting She'd been here before, most definitely
There was the promise of early bed-time There was the promise of heaven on earth Think I was sending out low-voltage electricity Played it right down for what it was worth
She turned and looked at me in white innocence And with the clearest eyes of forever gray She rested one small hand for a second on my knee I stopped the car, she walked away
Funny thing, the wisdom of the lonely Funny thing, the charm of the young Away you go now
White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white innocence White innocence, white innocence
