10,000 Maniacs
Cherry Tree
Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have fallen onto your
magazine for I've been watching and wondering why your face is changing with
every line you read. All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull
down the apple and give taste to me. If she would be wonderful, but my pride is
in the way. I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.
I live in silence, afraid to speak of my life of darkness because I cannot read.
For all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and
give taste to me. If she could it would be wonderful. Then I wouldn't need
someone else's eyes to see what's in front of me. No one guiding me.
It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid can do when he learns A to
Z, but all those lines and circles just frighten me and I fear that I'll be
trampled if you don't reach for me. Before I run I'll have to take a fall. And
then pick myself up, so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in the Tower
of Knowledge.
