Lyrics Jonatha Brooke

Jonatha Brooke

Last Innocent Year

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)

Unravelled 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
