Lyrics for Innocent When You Dream (78)

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 Chorus: It's such a sad old feeling 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 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 Repeat chorus Running through the graveyard We laughed my friends and I We swore we'd be together Until the day we died Until the day we died Repeat chorus
