[Verse 1]
Here I hang from the apple tree
Oh, take a little bite, take a bite for me
The pain, it keeps me sane
For I am more than a taste

[Verse 2]
The taste in the mouths of the starving crowds
All pulling at the leaves, pulling off to me
In feet first, a savage thirst
Oh, leave me be, leave me be

[Chorus]
Leave me be, I’m tired
And I feel so damn cold
Hold me like a child
‘Cause I feel so damn old
I got so damn old

[Verse 3]
Here I hang for the seated crowd
To look upon my eyes, look upon my mouth
And say, “We were there that day
I saw her face, heard a sound”

[Verse 4]
But now I sit where there used to be
A quiet little scene of an apple tree
White roots and balanced fruit
The winter glowed on her leaves
[Chorus]
Hold me like a child
‘Cause I feel so damn cold
Bind me like I’m wild
‘Cause I feel so damn old
I got so damn old
And I feel so damn old
I got so damn old
