Ignorance and Innocence
IGNORANCE AND INNOCENCE
So long I waited patiently
For you to say those words to me
And after all these lonely years
I almost can’t believe my ears
Oh how the time has changed me
My ability’s grown by great expanse
Now I think you’d hear me sing
If you would just give me the chance
Just like I always seem to do
Exercise brilliant ignorance
But in a town I call my home
We took each others innocence
There’s just one thing I want to know
Am I a nonentity?
Or do I hold significance?
Do you ever think of me?
