The Apple Orchard

There is an orchard down the way

Where once we used to go

There is a lock now on the gate

That stands and guards the road

The lock is strong, its keyhole small

Too small to see light through

With every key upon this ring

I’ve tried to get to you

Yes, every gift my young heart held

I left outside this door

And every day I came to give

There was less than before

Where have they gonе, the shades of life

That hung in this bouquеt?

What were those words from gentle lips

Who said all there is to say?

Why can’t I remember now?

Why can’t I remember now?

There is a song I used to know

I heard it at my birth

I used to praise and help create

The wonders of the earth

And underneath the blossoming trees

I pledged my love to you

The fruit was sweet, and then my love

Was left all bare to prove

Why must I remember now?

Why must I remember now?

And though I know it is not lost

It’s yet to be regaine

And echoes of my steps are all

I hear inside this cave

Until this day I had forgot

The heart behind your name

And now I must feel everything

To feel your love again
