about

led astray by a fruit tree

lyrics

cherry knows the earth is god
and we’re a layer of;
tows me round the ground she’s trod,
and over the skin she’s dropped.

stoops to share the dirt and sinks
into a dreamless sleep;
finds herself a mess of things
down in the soil’s keep.

cherry knows that water is god
and we’re a mirror of;
harvests dew and drop by drop
covers me toe to top.

dozy beau of field and bog
soaks in the day’s demise;
lays her ripened fruit to rot
and waits for her sap to rise.

and come the morning sun is god
and we’re a shadow of
and cherry-cherry leaves to the wind;
seems to begin again.

and so only cherry knows
how earth is god and water is god and sun,
cherry knows the sun is god.
