Story Behind the Song
The Apple Tree is a song about life inspired by the apple tree in Peter and Lora's backyard. We have used it as the title of our new album.
Lyrics
Come on out to the apple tree, let's pick some apples for you and me
And everyone in the family, apples from the tree.
It's harvest time and we can't wait, can't afford to hesitate
Or let them apples go to waste, apples from the tree.
Chorus
Shake them branches all around, knock the ripe ones off the bough.
Apples, apples all fall down, pick'em off the ground.
Shake them branches all around, knock the ripe ones off the bough.
Apples, apples all fall down, pick'em off the ground.
Peel 'em cut 'em, put 'em by, we're gonna make some apple pies,
Granny always wins first prize, it ain't no surprise,
You can cook 'em any old way, you can keep the doc away,
If you eat one every day, Granny used to say
I used to be a rolling stone, used to spend my nights alone,
But then I got myself a job and found myself a home.
Now it's just the wife and me, we’re gonna start a family,
Planted a brand new apple tree in a free spot in the yard.
