The Shrine / An Argument |
I went down among the dust and pollen |
To the old stone fountain in the morning after dawn |
Underneath were all these pennies |
Fallen from the hands of children |
They were there and then were gone |
And I wonder what became of them |
What became of them |
Sunlight over me no matter what I do Apples in the Summer all cold and sweet |
Everyday a’passin complete |
I’m not one to ever pray for mercy |
Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine |
But that day you know I left my money |
And I thought of you only |
All that copper glowing fine |
And I wonder what became of you |
What became of you |
Sunlight over me no matter what I do Apples in the summer all cold and sweet |
Everyday a passing complete |
Apples in the summer all cold and sweet |
Everyday a passing complete |
In the morning waking up to terrible sunlight |
All diffuse like skin abuse the sun is half its size |
When you talk you hardly even look in my eyes |
In the morning, in the morning |
In the doorway holding every letter that I wrote |
In the driveway pulling away putting on your coat |
In the ocean washing off my name from your throat |
In the morning, in the morning |
In the ocean washing off my name from your throat |
In the morning, in the morning |
Green apples hang from my tree |
They belong only to me Green apples hang from my green apple tree |
They belong only to, only to me And if I just stay awhile here staring at the sea |
And the waves break ever closer, ever near to me |
I will lay down in the sand and let the ocean lee |
Carry me to Innisfree like pollen on the breeze |
