From the recording Apples
This song came out of one afternoon of hard work...David brought in the music and Earl took off with the lyrics. We kept after it until we had some semblance of an arrangement. We particularly liked this one because we were looking for songs that were more upbeat.
Lyrics
Apples/PIPER~GREY - She spilled out a basket of apples from my favorite tree. City boy was sleeping in this rural place, her apples at his feet. Apples float in space when the laws of gravity no longer apply to this place. I was bowing down real low when a ripe one hit my toe now I’m awake. A bottle of merlot couldn’t keep this foolish soul from his mistake. Apples float in space when the laws of gravity no longer apply to this place. And all through the day we were wasting away on my dream. Roses fell like quarter slots they rolled around and rested not my knees. and all through this day of release, we fell like the fruit from the forbidden tree. Apples float in space when the laws of gravity no longer apply, when the laws of gravity no longer apply, when the laws of gravity no longer apply to this place. Apples!...Apples! -
