apple tree

i used to sit in a big apple tree, welcome the sun as he shone down on me, watch the fruit ripen, smell the land grow, felt the fall rains get colder and turn into snow, and then in the summer, i'd walk through the trees, roll up my trousers way over my knees, waded a stream 'til the rocks hurt my feet, the water was cool, and the summer was sweet, autumn got lonely when harvest came 'round, green leaves turned golden and fell to the ground, clear nights got colder, with the stars bright above, and in the winter, i first fell in love, she loved me truly 'til winter passed by, left without warning and never said why, maybe she's lonely, needs me somewhere, maybe by summer, i won't even care
