Cherry Tree

[Verse 1:] Over your shoulder Please don't mind me If my eyes have fallen Onto your magazine I've been watching and wondering Why your face is changing With every line you read [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] I live in silence Afraid to speak Of my life of darkness Because i cannot read [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 3:] It makes me humble To be so green At what every kid can do When he learns a to z 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
