Under the apple tree in the garden
Lives a swing that we used to play on
Childhood memories they come back to me
Happier times when we really were free
Love, Love Life, Life
Time after time I try so much harder
Never seem to get any farther
This earth can be a cruel cruel mother
Cheats and steals like an unfaithful lover
Hate, Hate Why, Why
But you’ve got to keep on trying
If your not living you’re breathing but dying
Don’t fall into the trap of selfish despair
You won’t find a hand of comfort there
There, Where Home, Home
Under the apple tree in the garden
Lives a swing that we used to play on
Childhood memories they come back to me
Happier times when we really were free
