- Esperanza Spalding Apple Blossom 歌詞

- Mother of the spring
Her branches cradle slipping Buds, yawning open Welcome by an aging man He greets them fondly With memories of when Her bows were arms that held him as a younger man Together, they would marvel at The birth of springtime Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms Every year where they used to go walking And he tells Her about the summer and the autumn The winter in his heart And their apple blossoms In summer they would dream Of being three and smile Imagining how round As the apples on the ground That fall, they loved and waited But winter came too soon Before their seed could bloom She wilted from the chill And all felt cold and still Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms Every year where they use to go walking And he tells Her about the summer and the autumn The winter in his heart And their apple blossoms As he opened the earth to receive her He prayed heaven would be waiting to meet her He kisses her cold cheek goodbye, But he couldn't surrender the hope they had sired So in her fallen hands he placed a seed from their favorite tree And he laid her to rest beneath the blanket of whiteTil They'd meet again in the springtime Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms Every year where they used to go walking Walking And from above she's always watching But her body lies beneath the apple blossoms Apple blossoms Blossom.Blossom.Blossom Mother of the Springher branches cradle slipping budsSlowly, unopen Welcome, by an aging man'He greets them fondly.Fondly Her branches cradle slipping buds
