"Apple Tree" lyrics

All of my wishes and all my demands
All of my dreams and my best-made plans
All set on fire by your two hands
Oh, love, mmm

I don't know the difference between love and war
Like smashing a bottle or slamming the door
Like kissing your neck or hearing you sing
Oh, love ruins everything

Oh, love is a weapon, my love
So don't ever question or push me to lessen my love

Busted to pieces, now what do I do?
Tell me you love me, oh, tell me the truth
'Cause I'm like the ocean and you're like the moon
Oh, and love ruins everything, not for you
Mmm

Oh, love is a bottomless pit
And because of you, now I'm falling forever in it
Oh, love is a weapon, my love
So don't ever question or push me to lessen my love

Love ruins everything
Oh, love ruins everything

Often my thoughts turn back to days of childhood
And I can see my simple country home
My father and mother, sisters and brothers
I never dreamed how far we'd roam

But long years have passed, and we have wandered
And some now rest within their tombs
But oh, I wanna be with that happy household
Up there in Heaven beyond this gloom

We used to gather around the fireside
And the soft light fell on little faces fair
And we'd laugh and play and love each other
Our hearts were young and free from all care

And at night, we'd say our "now I lay me"s
And Mom, she'd sweetly tuck us all in bed
Yes, I wanna be with that happy family
When Jesus wakes us from the dead

Gracious, sacred scenes unfold
