	Lyrics As the ripe fruit falls from the bough And how the vow of now transcends itself into the future So my dear I call thee, to fall with me towards the grassy orchard’s floor There may we lie, old fruits but in a fragrant spring of our own making Forsaking, I and thou, ourselves for each other Putting down roots to engender new growth And casting not one mildewed glance At the greenery of elsewhere As the dark moon calls to the plough We’ll cut a furrow now and set potatoes for the autumn Next year could be a bad one, when our hard won truths become like pebbles on the shore Pull up a chair and sit with me until the morning I’m warning you I’m bad, won’t take no for an answer You’d have to be mad if you’re turning me down There’ll be no need for greed, no grief There’ll be no hunger in this town The wind is getting up, my lover’s cup is overflowing into the ocean Do you have a notion, sister, take me back, yeah The door is open a crack, take me back, sister You and me are two of a kind
