Sorry For Me Apple Tree

Shake the Apple Tree And I very much doubt You will find poor old little me Or Eve standing by my side And I very much doubt You will find a talking snake either Because the closest to the garden of eden I will ever get or be actually let Is looking from the inside out For taking 1 single solitary bite Cast into the shadows never more to see the light of day Oh the cost and price we are to pay When we choose the wrong path At the crossroads set before us to test our souls The tax and tolls are unforgiving And make living from whence forth a daily struggle If love is a warm all encompsing cuddle Then mistakes are the muddied puddles We can't see the bottom through Shake me into submission Until I can finally show some humility and contrition For all the stupid things so many not worth mentioning Those who I have harmed are willing to forsake And if forgiveness drives a steak into my cruel heart Then I shall hold my hands up and own up to my part If healing is ever to start Then heal me last Until no more dye is left to cast And then and only then if I am still found wanting Give me the knife I will plunge it in myself For i shall deserve nothing less And should surely expect nothing more
