"Golden Apples" lyrics

"Golden Apples"

A midnight moon, morning dew
An orchid from Atlantis in a bottle for you
Tears from Aphrodite, rainbows at high noon
Golden apples, I have one for you
Ambrosia too, honeydew
The lute of Apollo, I'll play it for you
You're Venus De Milo, what do I got to lose?
It's out in the open but it's only for you

If I could change the law of time
Well I'd turn it all back and love you
For longer in my life
Well I'd trade it all in to meet you
Yeah to have known you
All those years too

Athena's needle, Athena's seagull
Descending to your window's pane
To bring you drops of heaven's rain
Wine from Dionysus, darts from Eros too
Golden apples, I saved one for you

If I could change the law of time
Well I'd turn it all back to love you
For longer in my life
Well I'd trade it all in to meet you
To have known you
All those years too

So you will find me on the ocean
With the trident of Poseidon
Charting the magnitude
As you and I, we rendezvous
You're Venus de Milo
What do I got to lose?
It's out in the open
But it's only for you
