about

The song, "Apple Red" is on the album, These Good Days Last by Aware of the Bear

lyrics

Apple Red

We used to steal fruit from the neighbor
I used to steal the apples from his farm
I couldn’t resist bitter flavor
I didn’t think he’d do us any harm

He left his ladder unattended
I’d climb to the top to see the clouds
And when I jumped, I just pretended
But to fly up high was not allowed

A rumbling sound
A blast of shame
A spray of salt, then pain
A frightening fall
A strange disgrace
I ran and hid my face
And all that I could taste, was apple red

I used to steal looks at his daughter
She used to look at me with lustful charm
I couldn’t resist once I caught her
I didn’t think she’d do me any harm

He left her open, unattended
I’d hide behind the shade and watch the fire
And then my dream sharply ended
To fly up so high was not allowed

A rumbling sound
A blast of shame,
A spray of salt, then pain
A frightening fall
A strange disgrace
I ran and hid my face
And all that I could taste, was apple red
