From the recording Only Losers Write on Bridges
A meditation, a reflective irenic piece written for my friend Wallee McDonell, who has done amazing work bringing music and musicians from all parts of the world together. This track was voted into listeners' "Fresh Faves" [Batch 106] on Tom Robinson's 'FreshNet".

Steve plays acoustic guitar and sings the lyric. The wonderful string arrangement by Sonny Williamson was recorded by Alice Butcher on violin & Sheena McKenzie on cello, Jem Moorshead more recently moulding the track with bewitching and beautiful sounds.
Lyrics
Innocence
Distant places built on sand
A sea of faces we don’t understand
A lonely woman and her one-night-stand
Another man who’s holding out his hand
Time for innocence
Time for innocence
Time for innocence and love
You are a priest
You are on your knees
White smoke curls into the sky
You have the key, open up your heart
Time for innocence and love
