《The Lilac And The Apple》歌词

时长： 02:39

A Lilac bush and an Apple tree[00:00:00]

Were standing in the woods[00:00:04]

Out on the hill above the town,[00:00:08]

Where once a farmhouse stood.[00:00:12]

In the winter the leaves are bare[00:00:17]

And no one sees the signs[00:00:21]

Of a house that stood and a garden that grew[00:00:26]

And life in another time.[00:00:30]

One Spring when the buds came bursting forth[00:00:36]

And grass grew on the land,[00:00:40]

The Lilac spoke to the Apple tree[00:00:44]

As only an old friend can.[00:00:49]

Do you think, said the Lilac, this might be the year[00:00:55]

When someone will build here once more?[00:00:59]

Here by the cellar, still open and deep,[00:01:04]

There's room for new walls and a floor.[00:01:08]

Oh, no, said the Apple, there are so few[00:01:14]

Who come here on the mountain this way[00:01:18]

And when they do, they don't often see[00:01:23]

Why we're growing here, so far away.[00:01:27]

A long time ago we were planted by hands[00:01:33]

That worked in the mines and the mills[00:01:38]

When the country was young and the people who came[00:01:42]

Built their homes in the hills.[00:01:46]

But now there are cities, the roads have come[00:01:52]

And no one lives here today[00:01:56]

And the only signs of the farms in the hills[00:02:00]

Are the things not carried away[00:02:06]

Broken dishes, piles of boards,[00:02:12]

A tin plate, an old leather shoe.[00:02:18]

And an Apple tree still bending down[00:02:23]

And a Lilac where a garden once grew.[00:02:30]
