Red Apples Lyrics

Your tongue was a serpent

A clanging of dishes

A wolf's fleece in slumber

A side eye left grinning

Your eyes were like marbles

A drip in a large pool

You're like a dead childhood pet

I'd just begun to forget

And I still followed

So keep shining that red apple

Polished like a mirror

Keep shining that red apple

Till I see my face so clear

You breath was like heaven

A crow's deep descending

You're like circling carrion

And I was ground to rest your head on

Your scent was like mothballs

Into a deep closet I walked

Try on some fig leafs to be discreet in

A garden memory receded

And I still followed

So keep shining that red apple

Polished like a mirror

Keep shining that red apple

Till I see my face so clear
