Lyrics
Pull over baby The cherry Man said
Slow down your speed. The Devils ahead.
The Fruit may be Tiny but shiny and red
Don’t swallow those stones Honey Kiss them instead.
Be good to Your self living the Dream
Bitter ain’t sour when Apple Green.
Have Faith in The Orchard while the leaves fall.
Nothing But Cold Nights surviving is cruel.
What evolves from laughter is learning to cry
Cherry Red Smiles Apple Green Lies (Repeat x 1)
BRIDGE & Chorus
One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime
Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.
The Juiciest Fruit wont ripen for Long
Its there in your youth and then fades until gone
Cherries are history, Green apples decay.
Fall from the tree and then fade away.
BRIDGE & Chorus
One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime
Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.
The warm summer sun The Harvest is King
An Angel of Mercy Unfurls Her Wings,
Rainbows appear in the Bluest of skies Take a Deep breath with tears in your eyes.
Awake from the Dream Rise From Your Bed Embrace Apple Green and Cherries so Red.
Good Night Stranger the Cherry Man Yells
Embrace The New Shoots and the Sound Of Life Bells.
We fade away in search of a light. To welcome New Fruit The Joy And Delight.
Slow down your speed. The Devils ahead.
The Fruit may be Tiny but shiny and red
Don’t swallow those stones Honey Kiss them instead.
Be good to Your self living the Dream
Bitter ain’t sour when Apple Green.
Have Faith in The Orchard while the leaves fall.
Nothing But Cold Nights surviving is cruel.
What evolves from laughter is learning to cry
Cherry Red Smiles Apple Green Lies (Repeat x 1)
BRIDGE & Chorus
One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime
Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.
The Juiciest Fruit wont ripen for Long
Its there in your youth and then fades until gone
Cherries are history, Green apples decay.
Fall from the tree and then fade away.
BRIDGE & Chorus
One more time in the orchard we climb, Picking Red Cherries while sucking on Lime
Soon will be winter No Blossom No Flower. Just apples green Bitter Twisted and Sour.
The warm summer sun The Harvest is King
An Angel of Mercy Unfurls Her Wings,
Rainbows appear in the Bluest of skies Take a Deep breath with tears in your eyes.
Awake from the Dream Rise From Your Bed Embrace Apple Green and Cherries so Red.
Good Night Stranger the Cherry Man Yells
Embrace The New Shoots and the Sound Of Life Bells.
We fade away in search of a light. To welcome New Fruit The Joy And Delight.

Great imagery. What do the cherries represent? Why are we learning so much about them? Let the listener in on the secret!

This is a Song for the Good times and the Sad. If you have not experienced both then Life has passed You by. Cherry Sellers are rare on the side of a Country Lane but Fallen Apples are everywhere in Open Fields.
The Cherries represent Good Times and Apples Green the Sad and Bad. When the two are alongside this is Life.
