Lyrics Joan Osborne

Joan Osborne

Poison Apples (Hallelujah)

Your memory comes back to me

to strangle me with its sweet taste

See God would never be so cruel

to make me live without your face

Now that I have made you crawl

It does you good to see me fall

Like poison apples from the tree

as heavy as a honey bee

Hallelujah

I gave you away so easily

It makes me wonder why

Moving through you every night

The lovely girls in dresses tight

The angels dancing on a pin

The people we are downing in

Like a needle going in

Into the shining city skin

Oh I recall the moment when you ruined me for other men

Hallelujah

I gave you away so easily

It makes me wonder why

If I die before you do

believe me I'll be haunting you

I'll come upon you while you sleep

to drown you in a kiss

So deep
