Tom Waits - Innocent When You Dream (1987 Version)

Jim Jarmusch, Tom Waits

 

"Innocent When You Dream"

 

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

And it's such a sad old feeling
all 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
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

And it's such a sad old feeling
all 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
when you dream
you're innocent when you dream

we were running through the graveyard
and we laughed my friends and I
we swore we'd be together
until the day we died
until the day we died

And it's such a sad old feeling
all 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
when you dream
you're innocent when you dream
