Innocent When You Dream (78) - Tom Waits

The bats are in the belfry

The dew is on the moor

Where are the arms that held me

And pledged her love before

And pledged her love before

Chorus:

It’s such a sad old feeling

The fields are soft and green

It’s memories that I’m stealing

But you’re innocent when you dream

When you dream

You’re innocent when you dream

I made a golden promise

That we would never part

I gave my love a locket

And then I broke her heart

And then I broke her heart

Repeat chorus

Running through the graveyard

We laughed my friends and I

We swore we’d be together

Until the day we died

Until the day we died

Repeat chorus
