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?
