Sweet Miranda brings me the wine, we have had our fill
Of almost everything, turning thistledown laughter
I would take her blue cue too late, I would say the words
Almost anything, just to catch what she's after

But you don't believe that I'm a partner in this game
How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?

When the bough broke in pieces, we fell
We would scream and shout almost anything
But the point is, we fell, dear
There will be no more wishlessness
There may be some doubt, no new day without
Best that we say farewell here

But you don't believe that I'm a party to the pain
How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?

Well, I saw this girl crying by the wheel of a car
She had balloons in the back seat, the front door ajar
She never moved, so I whispered goodbye
She reminded me of you when you cry
And I didn't mean to make you cry

Sweet Miranda brings me the wine, we have had our fill
Of almost everything, turning thistledown laughter
I would take her blue cue too late, I would say the words
Almost anything, just to catch what she's after

But you don't believe that I'm a partner in this game
How can you believe that I'm the innocent one?
