Cherry Tree Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Over your shoulder, please dont mind me 

If my eyes have fallen onto your magazine 

Oh, Ive been watching and wondering 

Why your face is changing with every line you read 

 

For all those lines and circles to me a mystery 

Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me 

If she could it would be wonderful 

But my pride is in the way 

I cannot read to save my life 

Im so ashamed to say 

 

I live in silence, afraid to speak 

Of my life of darkness because I cannot read 

 

For all those lines and circles to me a mystery 

Eve pulled down the apple and gave a taste to me 

If she could it would be wonderful 

Then I wouldnt need someone elses eyes 

To see whats in front of me 

No one guiding me 

 

It makes me humble to be so green 

At what every kid can do when he learns A to Z 

 

For all those lines and circles just frighten me 

And I fear that Ill be trampled if you dont reach for me 

Before I run Ill have to take a fall 

And when I pick myself up so slowly 

Ill devour every one of those 

Books in the tower of knowledge
