Old Bloody Orange - Hawksley Workman

old bloody orange
there was a time
there was a day
when they came and went
and the gates
swung to the changes
in the wind

there was a night wind
we reached and clawed for each other
oh please say that it's not gone forever

old fuzzy peach
i know you remember
i came every year
till i was older
i lost all my sense
and moved to the city
and look at me now

I'm lost and i'm broken
where the good word is not spoken
please say that i'm not lost forever

old sour grape
tell me a story
of two naked lovers
out testifying
beating their drums
on a salty coast side
with blood in their tears

held down from the heavens
by the virtues of their bodies
trying to make it last forever
