Apple Pie.
My big, strong damsel
Who’ll fight the world for me
Who’ll keep me safe tucked in her heart shell
At least that’s what I hope for, dear.
So far away from home you went,
To pursue the dream of a big, big world,
That you try and try to fit in, my love
I just wish I was there with you right now,
But some battles are best fought alone.
Time seemed to walk around,
In circles when you are not there,
I remember how it used to fly off,
As I used to indulge in your school stories.
My big, strong damsel
Who’ll fight the world for me
Who’ll keep me safe tucked in her heart shell
At least that’s what I hope for, dear.
But now dear, as our time fades for you
I will sit still waiting for you,
Come by sometimes, if you don’t mind,
And I will make you some apple pie,
You can still tell me about your day
And I shall listen with a smile.
You never talk even on the phone,
I swear I shall keep your secrets,
Even about the boy that you love,
Or your friends who you go out with,
Or your boss who you seem to despise.
My big, strong damsel
Who’ll fight the world for me
Who’ll keep me safe tucked in her heart shell
I know you love me, darling,
You’ll always have a special place before
anyone else in this world.
