Apple Tree

Johnny Rivers

Composed by: Gram Parsons
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 in the summer, I'd walk through the trees 
Roll up my trousers way over my knees 
Waded a stream 'til 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, 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.
