As a child I played hockey
Idolised the ponies underneath
The saddles plain
And shoulders warring our country
Into night
Took a branch and then a ball
Found the greenest apple and carved and arrow
And saw it grow
And foraged into the forest without fear
Spied a bird with fragile wings
Cut a piece for balance, never more these passings
Tell me why does it worry this so much?
Worry this so much
Threw a shower to set her free
Tried to bend the arrow back into embroidery
But then her motor was bright in
Needle string
Cried and tried to make her breathe
Bath the sky the bird one
Thousand birds in every tree
So I could let mother find her
Rain on me
How to be a harmless man
I only wish to understand the power in my hands
Well time will show that a one man, come
Again
Took apprentice as a slave
Even angels wish to clip their wings and make mistakes
That oh, the apples get sweeter every year
Sweeter every year
