Album: The Apple Tree Soundtrack

HERE IN EDEN

SO MANY CREATURES
SO MANY THINGS
EACH WONDEROUS OBJECT IS BEAUTIFUL AND STRIKING
AND I SEE NOTHING THAT ISN'T TO MY LIKING
HERE IN EDEN.

THERE'S PLUMS AND PEACHES
AND PEARS AND GRAPES
SO RIPE AND JUICY AND UTTERLY INVITING.
I FIND THE APPLES ESPECIALLY EXCITING
HERE IN EDEN.

AS FOR ME
I CAN SEE
I WAS MEANT TO REJOICE
IN THE ROUND
VIBRANT SOUND
OF MY OWN VOICE.

IT'S ALL SO PERFECT
AND SO IDEAL
AND YET I DO HAVE ONE TINY RESERVATION
THERE'S NOTHING HANDY FOR MAKING CONVERSATION
HERE IN EDEN.

HOW'D I COME?
WHERE'M I FROM?
WHAT'S MY ULTIMATE AIM?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
EVEN SO
I'M GLAD I CAME.

IT'S ALL SO LOVELY
I MAY JUST WEEP
I LOVE THIS GARDEN AND EV'RYTHING THAT'S IN IT
AND SOMETHING TELLS ME TO TREASURE EV'RY MINUTE
BLOSSOM AND BUD
MOUNTAIN AND MUD
I KNOW I'LL BE HAPPY
PERFECTLY HAPPY
HERE IN EDEN.
