Letra de Cherry Tree

Over your shoulder, please don't mind me

if my eyes have fallen onto your magazine

Oh I've been watching and wondering

why your face is changing with every line you read.



For all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.

Eve pull down the apple and give a taste to me.

For if she could it would be wonderful, but my pride is in the way.

I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.



I live in silence, afraid to speak

of my life in darkness because I cannot read.



But all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.

Eve pull down the apple and give a taste to me.

For if she could it would be wonderful.

Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes to see what's in front of me.

No one guiding me.



It makes me humble to be so green

at what every kid can do when he learns A to Z,



But all those lines and circles just frighten me

and I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach for me.

Before I run I'll have to take a fall.

And then I pick myself up, so slowly

I'll devour every one of those books in the Tower of Knowledge.
