cherry tree orchard

<sub>cherry tree orchard
gonna take you down
gonna make a fortune
without making a sound

there wont be a soul who knows about it
but me and you
thats enough
to make it true

rocking chair on the porch
barbecue on the lawn
seize the last days of summer
before theyre all gone

we used to drink into oblivion
all night long
then close them gossamer curtains
every dawn

that cherry tree orchard where i belong
i can still recall before our innocence was lost
we said wed return there, dont care the cost
yeah we paid it all
from our empty pockets

wind is a blowing
and everybody knows
its the wrong kind of emotion
that could turn a heart cold

will you hold me in the winter
beneath blankets of snow
oh no,
or will you go?

come in,
ill throw another log on the fire
when i turn the radio on
dulcet tones of npr

drifting through the living room
you sit by my side
always
youre always mine

that cherry tree orchard where i belong
they chopped them down, said it was George Washington
my pillow was drenched forever i cried so long
to sleep
until what i want comes

that cherry tree orchard
memories origins
stay
oh, stay with me

when we come back to life
its different every time
but i want the same thing twice

cherry tree orchard
is calling from afar
no more war and no more torture
and no more scars

everyone is gonna be surprised
its not what they thought
oh no
and not what they taught

fair evening gardens
lets go for a walk
you can tell me all your fears
and i will make them stop

for the rest of our years, not a single teardrop
oh no
on the hilltop

that cherry tree orchard that i once knew
is standing there still somehow it grew
through every season its renewed
because i love you</sub>
