Apple Tree

I used to sit in a big apple tree

Welcome the sun as he shone down on me

Watch the fruit ripen, smell the land grow

Felt the fall rains get colder and turn into snow

And then in the summer, I'd walk through the trees

Roll up my trousers way over my knees

Waded a stream 'til the rocks hurt my feet

The water was cool, and the summer was sweet

Autumn got lonely when harvest came 'round

Green leaves turned golden and fell to the ground

Clear nights got colder, with the stars bright above

And in the winter, I first fell in love

She loved me truly 'til winter passed by

Left without warning and never said why

Maybe she's lonely, needs me somewhere

Maybe by summer, I won't even care
