Song Description

When it comes to dying, it is hard to figure out suffering among those who watch. This song both celebrates and mourns the pain of separation.

Lyrics

Innocent eyes
© 2009 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)

Innocent eyes always see angels
Dance in the sky ? walking with strangers
Nobody cries ? when strangers die
They?re walking with angels now ? goodbye

Innocent eyes always see angels
Dance in the night ? waiting in windows
Where do they go ? nobody knows ?
Anything ? anymore ? oh no
Only the innocent ?
Only the innocent eyes ? eyes can see

Stars are always falling down from heaven ? yeah
But when they touch the earth ? they disappear
And what we mourn so hard was never here
And what we love so much we will never know ?

And, all the innocence
Yes, all the innocence
Oh, all the innocence
Is gone ? no, no ? no more

Candles in trees, burning with sorrow
Stone angel sleep ? forever tomorrow
And innocence dies; innocent eyes
Watch from a distance, yeah ? no, tears
Flow like a river flows ?
Flow like a river flows ?
Flow like a river flows ?
To the sea ? to begin ? again

Stars are always falling down from heaven ? yeah
But when they touch the earth ? they disappear
And what we mourn so hard ? we never really had
And what we love so much ? we never get to know ?

But, innocent eyes
Innocent eyes
Innocent eyes ?
Always see angels
Walking across the river
Walking across that river
Walking across that river
To ? to the other side
