Innocent When You Dream (Barroom) Lyrics

Written by Tom Waits

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
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
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
