Apple Tree - Marika Hackman

Here I hang from the apple tree

Oh, take a little bite, take a bite for me

The pain, it keeps me sane for I am more than a taste

The taste in the mouths of the starving crowds

Oh, pulling at the leaves, pulling off to me

In feet first, the savage thirst

Oh leave me be, leave me be

Leave me be, I’m tired

I feel so damn cold

Hold me like a child

‘Cause I feel so damn old

I got so damn old

Here I hang for the sated crowd

To look upon my eyes, look upon my mouth

And say «we were there that day

I saw a face, heard a sound»

But now I sit where they used to be

A quiet little scene of an apple tree

White roots and balanced fruit

The winter glowed on her leaves

Hold me like a child

‘Cause I feel so damn cold

Bind me like I’m wild

‘Cause I feel so damn old

I got so damn old

And I feel so damn old

I got so damn old
