Story Behind The Song

Sun, rain, sweet, sour, morning, night. Everything is worthy, and worthy of reflection.

Song Description

A reflection on the beauty of life on a long day in the Sour Apple Fields.

Lyrics

In the sour apple fields I found
The best in life is not always so sweet
And a long, long way down is not so far
That we not should not indulge, that might be where we are
And from where we're standing

I see new water in your dawning skies
And the age-old smell of your land
Comes begging up now from a week of dry

CHORUS:
Rise on me and we'll reach the rain
Ride this river away while saying
That the chance of returning is real
To these sour apple fields, I feel

With the sun along, we start to get strong
But we lie here eating up the world
And the world brings water so we wash it down
Return to doing nothing on this hallowed ground
Evaporating

The stories will play themselves out sometimes
And the bitter fruit turns in the heat
Knowing more won't flood you out of my mind

CHORUS

Green and gold
Never grow old

So the colors change, we start to feel strange
And it's almost like we've come to high
But the sun comes back down to earth again
And headed into night with you is where I'll end
To start it over

I see new water in your dawning skies
And the age-old smell of your land
Comes begging back up now from a week of dry
