[Verse 1]
A hard line taken every path you crossed
Maybe what was never found is never lost
Long ago you stopped thinking about what it costs
To live in this skin
Yes, and all those men who ran out on you
Who climbed your mountain to steal their view
Well, they took all the treasure, but they left you
With a mine full of nothing

[Chorus]
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream

[Verse 2]
Floated on down to New Orleans
With the drifters and the gamblers and the river boat queens
We're all taking our chances on what we've never seen
With our own two own eyes
Oh, the first time i think i hear you say the word "trust"
Was one-half prayer and the other half curse
I was hoping you'd think of me none for the worse
For loving you
[Chorus]
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream

[Mandolin Solo]

[Verse 3]
You can build a big wall around your heart
You can win all the battles before they start
You could claw your way straight to top
Of the wreckage--and bleed
I wanna hold you in my arms at night
What's it take to make a life turn out right?
If love is the clue, let's follow it right to eternity
I was watching you sleep it was late last night
With a smile on your lips were you dancing in the light
Of a place where I
I could not quite reach?

[Chorus]
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
[Outro]
Go and ask her
Go and ask her
Go and ask her
You're innocent when you dream
When you dream
Yeah, when you dream
