I Ate Up the Apple Tree - Dr. John

When the love in your eyes I could see When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seemed to whisper sweet music to me I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you In the shade of old apple tree (Apple tree) When the love in your eyes I could see (I could see) Mama, when the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seemed to whisper sweet music to me (Music to me) I could hear the dull buzz of the bee (Buzz of the bee) In the blossoms as you said to me (Said to me) Mama, with a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you Yes, shade of the old apple tree (Scat)

All of my life I've been hunting I've been a girl, I've been a boy Digging my feet into the ground Like an apple tree Wanting to live with a purpose Skin is a word, love is not a sin People are bad, people are good Just like the moon is a stone But it's a star when it's dark And now she's hiding If you've seen what a heart is You've seen its colour If I ever knew how we could guide it I would take care of its children Become their mother If I ever knew how we could hide it Hide it Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Hunger is quiet, if you do it right Hunter is loud and predictable Scaring away every prey So they are gone Before the hunter arrives Would you be kind, and put away your sword You cannot cut away what we got You cannot kill what we are We are not here In physical form You've seen where the knife is Its dark location If I ever knew how we could fight it (Fight it) I would cut into our anger Make pure emotion If I ever knew how we could hide it Hide it Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Can you carry the weight of mortality? The explosions around you are your symphony Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy Let her save the world She is just a girl Let him save them all He is just a boy
