Innocence Takes A Toll

A lover sparks a desolate heart To stir and flourish and glow A lover breaks a heart for sport Leaving a desert where no love can grow An analyst eases an anguished mind A priest comforts a trusting soul A doctor heals an ailing body Each a lauded goal An analyst twists an anguished mind A priest mars a trusting soul A doctor molests an ailing body Innocence takes a toll
