Subject: RE: 'Innocence' in amatory folksong
One of my very favourite songs is One Night As I Lay On My Bed. You know exactly what's going on at the start of the song and what's going to happen at the end of the song, but none of it needs to be spelt out. And the lack of specifics gives more powerful expression to the passion of the last verse, I think.
