Lyrics for Innocent Son as interpreted by brasky09

Innocent Son Lyrics
You left me there
Waiting at the bottom of the stairs
with my eyes closed
Holding my right hand in my left
there is no time for
hesitation now
you come or go
or go

rust suddenly falling beside me on a ghost of a morning
riding in sorrow to the harbor
Far behind oh me the bodies of my friends hanging alone alone again

Some twisted thorn tells me you saw me in the night with another keep all my promises to break them I am no oh no, Innocent son. you run rabbit run

How perfect can a song be?

His voice is out of this world. It gives me chills. I'm loving this band so much.

i believe it is:

Run, sullen leaves,
Falling beside me on the ghost,
Of a morning.
Riding in sorrow...

but i could be wrong. he says "leaves" for certain, which means it's not "suddenly". i'm not sure if it's sullen leaves or not. for a second i thought it was rust-sodden leaves, but that is stretching it.

i think he says "run" to the leaves, because then he says "riding in sorrow to the harbor.." which would then be the leaves blowing toward the hanging bodies. right?

The final words are a reference to a song by Noel Gay and Ralph Butler called "Run Rabbit Run". The lyrics go:

On the farm, every Friday
On the farm, it's rabbit pie day.
So, every Friday that ever comes along,
I get up early and sing this little song

Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Goes the farmer's gun.
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run.

Run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!
Don't give the farmer his fun! Fun! Fun!
He'll get by
Without his rabbit pie
So run rabbit - run rabbit - Run! Run! Run!

The words "I am no innocent son" always reminds me of the chorus to CCR's Fortunate Son, also. I don't know if that was intentional.
