10 Years

I read in a magazine somewhere

Our body's cells regenerate

Every ten years like clockwork

Ticking ten years too late

If it's true, we're completely new people

Could we try again someday

When a new heart is thumping

Kicking, ten years too late

Well it's you

That I need

Ten years is nothing

How hard can it be

Well it's you

That I need

Just give me something

But your loving set me free

I was driving to work and on the radio

The singer sounded just like you

When you belt out the lyrics to a song that you loved

And I hated, and you knew it too

It made me think of the creek in the backyard

Where I ran away for a day or two

Not because you're like a creek or anything

I just really wanna run away with you

My love is longer than the apple orchard

I planted for you

And stronger than the ox are pulling

So apples surely grew

And taller than the highest tree

And deeper than its roots

And sturdy like the trunk aswayin'

And sweeter than its fruit

And warm like summer rainfall

And farther than the moon

And beautiful like springtime

When the apple blossoms bloom

And I

Believe, believe, believe believe

And I

For me, for me, for me, for me, for me
