In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree

[Verse 1]

The aureole the joy was sweetly singing

For me Pampas was my bliss too

billy bell the tune was dearly ringing

The world seemed brighter than a harvest moon

For there within my arms I gently pressed you

And the bloodstained red you slowly turned away

can't forget the way I once caressed you

I only pray we'll meet another day

[Chorus]

In the shade of the old apple tree

with a love in your eyes I could see

When the voice that I heard like the song of a bird

seemed to whisper sweet music to me

I could hear the dull spark of the bee

It locked up as you said to me

With a heart that is true I'll be waiting for you

the shade of the old apple tree

[Verse 2]

really come a long way from the city

For though my heart is breaking I'll be brave

I've grown a bunch of flowers I think they're pretty

Don't place upon a freshly molded grave

If you will only father where he's lying

For if his father just points it out to me

then he'd be told the thought he was dying

to bury hard beneath the apple tree

[Chorus]

In the shade of the old apple tree

with a love in your eyes I could see

When the voice that I heard like the song of a bird

seemed to whisper sweet music to me

I could hear the dull spark of the bee

It locked up as you said to me

With a heart that is true I'll be waiting for you

In the shade of the old apple tree
