Katrina Carlson - Apples For Eve lyrics

rate me

Father, I'm in certain danger of being everything you despise<br />

Mother, I've locked hearts with a stranger<br />

And I can't wash him out of my eyes<br />

<br />

So many years I was afraid<br />

Fighting back tears while I obeyed<br />

'Cause I was so eager then to please<br />

Ignoring the sweetness in the tree<br />

Denying destiny<br />

The fruit within my reach<br />

Apples for Eve<br />

<br />

Father, I've a growing hunger burning crimson inside of me<br />

What would happen then, I wonder, if I tasted the colors I see<br />

<br />

So many years left in the dark<br />

Fighting back tears for fear they'd spark<br />

'Cause I was so eager then to please<br />

Ignoring the sweetness in the tree<br />

Denying destiny<br />

The fruit within my reach<br />

Apples for Eve<br />

<br />

Show me, touch me, love me freely<br />

And don't stop 'til I've had enough<br />

Take me to the East and leave me<br />

I would rather toil in the rough<br />

<br />

I can stand tall or take a fall<br />

I can give in or risk it all<br />

I can choose who and how I please<br />

'Cause I know the truth about the tree<br />

I know my destiny<br />

The fruit within my reach<br />

Apples for Eve<br />

Apples for Eve
