Innocence

Music and Lyrics by Dougie MacLean
Published by Limetree Arts and Music (MCPS and PRS UK)

Youthful innocence wanders
Across the fields wonderful wild
And never a moment was squandered
Until sleep would take the weary child
Brothers held to adventure
Across the moor and over the burn
And the whole was held to the centre
But these summer days will never return

CHORUS
We’ll never walk that way again
No we’ll never walk that way again

Lost in the wonder of nature
The blossom flower the bracken and broom
And deep in our hearts we would take her
And wonder at the shining moon
Brothers held to discover
The turning wheel the towering trees
And each would share with the other
And soar inside the summer breeze
CHORUS
