THE BLACK CHERRY BLUES

FATE GIVES US LITTLE CHOICE

LISTEN TO THE TINY VOICE

SLEEPY WHISPERS IN A GENTLE BREEZE

ATOP THE TALLEST TREE

SO FAR OUT OF MY REACH

BABY WILL YA FALL FOR ME

 

I GOT THE BLACK CHERRY BLUES

SWEETEST OF ALL THINGS IS YOU

IF THE SOUR ONES WERE HALF AS NICE

PICKIN' TWO WOULD NOT SUFFICE

RED ONES WOULD NEVER DO

 

YOU FEED THE BIRDS

ALL THE WHILE MY HEART BE YOURS

SWEETEST OF ALL THINGS

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS TO GET YOU

 

I FEAR OF FALL, I FEAR OF HEIGHT

CAPTURE ON A SHELF I MIGHT

SWEET RAPTURE

I WAIT FOR YOU EVERY YEAR

I WANT YOU FOR MYSELF MY DEAR

BABY WILL YA FALL FOR ME

 

I GOT THE BLACK CHERRY BLUES

SWEETEST OF ALL THINGS IS YOU

IF THE SOUR ONES WERE HALF AS NICE

PICKIN' TWO WOULD NOT SUFFICE

RED ONES WOULD NEVER DO

 

YOU FEED THE BIRDS

ALL THE WHILE MY HEART BE YOURS

SWEETEST OF ALL THINGS

IF ONLY I HAD WINGS TO GET YOU.

So what is going on when that elk comes along and gobbles up all the windfalls and then gets rolling drunk and ends up half way up the damn tree! it happened in Norway last year I believe.

Maybe the solution is to become a rock star get stinking rich, hire a cherry picker and then you can steal any apple you like. Alternatively there is alwys a chain saw.

Ach, I am in a sour blue sad mood. Right now I don't want to go near any apples, cherries, peaches, any damn fruit of any description. No, sireee! N O to all that fruit.

black cherry blues explanation



Women are like the apples on the trees; the best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt, instead they get the rotten apples from the ground that are not as good but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them when in reality they are amazing. They have to wait for the right guy to come along one who is brave enough to climb to the top of the tree.
