Leftmore - Apple Tree Lyrics

There's a root being dug up
To make way for the others
It's grown too thick, it's far too strong
So it's choking one side out
And there are leaves that are dying
On the ground, in a pile
They've fallen sick. They don't have long
So they're changing colors on the lawn

But don't go asking about all these scars
I've got so much skin to live in!
And, yes, I know the axe, the hand, that took her love from me
But that won't bring her back., my Apple Tree

There's a branch being tarred
Where the lightning came for my heart
It came in quick and then was gone
So now my love is bubbling its way out
And there's a knot in my back
Where the lovebird makes its nest
Who's far too weak to make its song
So it's waiting silently on the dawn

But don't go asking about all these scars
I've got so much skin left to live in
And, yes, I know the axe, the hand that took her love from me
But that won't change a thing, my Apple Tree

Though she's been ground down to dirt
I trust that I'm still in her heart
And that she'll come back to me
The rain will bring her back to life
I know her love still beats in those seeds

Oh, my love, come back to me
Come back to me
