Lyric Cherry Tree

Over your shoulder, please don t mind me if my eyes have
fallen onto your magazine for I ve been watching and wondering why
your face is changing with every line you read. All those lines
and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give
taste to me. If she would be wonderful, but my pride is in the
way. I cannot read to save my life, I m so ashamed to say.
I live in silence, afraid to speak of my life of
darkness because I cannot read. For all those lines and circles,
to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.
If she could it would be wonderful. Then I wouldn t need someone
else s eyes to see what s in front of me. No one guiding me.
It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid can
do when he learns A to Z, but all those lines and circles just
frighten me and I fear that I ll be trampled if you don t reach
for me. Before I run I ll have to take a fall. And then pick
myself up, so slowly I ll devour every one of those books in the
Tower of Knowledge.
