Apple Tree
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 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 thе winter, I first fell in love
Shе 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
