Apathetic Apple Lyrics by El Olio Wolof
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
A seed fell from the sky
It landed on the grass planted its roots and just waited there to die
It felt the summer sun
It felt the winter's freeze
And then when the springtime came
The wind brought little babies

Tree, go high

Farmers come and farmers go
But the farmers and their children
My future they'll never know
I fed their family when times were slow
But they won't remember me
They'll just remember how much apple pie they ate in '83

Tree, go high

And I get envious when my leaves fall from the blue
And it don't matter no more that I ain't new to you

And I've been here for some years
All my friends are owls and deers
And I forget when you were here to out away these wooden tears

It's just me and the birds up here
Just me and the birds up here

And that day when you came with your kids
And hung a tire from my limbs
We played 'til the sun went down and you were gone again

The orange and the peach trees disappeared
They cut down the pines to build your home
You left me out here all alone

And like you here my roots run deep
I look ugly in the summer heat
I stole the water from my own seeds
And went to sleep

It's just me and the birds up here
Just me and the birds up here

And it don't matter if I'm living or dead
Just so long as your family's dead
They built a road right under my head
And marked me with a X of red

It's just me and the birds up here
Just me and the birds up here

And you came to watch me die
You came to watch me die
And you came to watch, fall, and die
A seed fell from the sky   It landed on the grass planted its roots and just waited there to die   It felt the summer sun   It felt the winter's freeze   And then when the springtime came   The wind brought little babies      Tree, go high      Farmers come and farmers go   But the farmers and their children   My future they'll never know   I fed their family when times were slow   But they won't remember me   They'll just remember how much apple pie they ate in '83      Tree, go high      And I get envious when my leaves fall from the blue   And it don't matter no more that I ain't new to you      And I've been here for some years   All my friends are owls and deers   And I forget when you were here to out away these wooden tears      It's just me and the birds up here   Just me and the birds up here      And that day when you came with your kids   And hung a tire from my limbs   We played 'til the sun went down and you were gone again      The orange and the peach trees disappeared   They cut down the pines to build your home   You left me out here all alone      And like you here my roots run deep   I look ugly in the summer heat   I stole the water from my own seeds   And went to sleep      It's just me and the birds up here   Just me and the birds up here      And it don't matter if I'm living or dead   Just so long as your family's dead   They built a road right under my head   And marked me with a X of red      It's just me and the birds up here   Just me and the birds up here      And you came to watch me die   You came to watch me die   And you came to watch, fall, and die
