Текст песни Ripe Apples - The Rokes

Ri-ipe apples make a tree seem taller
Tall trees make a small man smaller
How can a small man face
A world as big as this?

Grandfather, tell me all there is to know
Show me all there is to show
To help me as I grow

He said "Look around you, son
Your baby brother's cryin'
He doesn't understand
Your sister she is smilin'
She's holdin' someone's hand
You're Ma and Pa are smilin'
They're happy on the land"

"But look at me I'm cryin'
But not because I'm old
No, not because I'm I'm old
I'm cryin' for something I was told
You know, they told me

Ri-ipe apples make a tree seem taller
Tall trees make a small man smaller
How can a small man face
A world as big as this?"

Grandfather, tell me all there is to know
Show me all there is to show
To help me as I grow

He said "Look around you, son
Your baby brother's cryin'
Because he doesn't know
Your sister, she is smilin'
She's startin' to grow
Your Ma and Pa are smilin'
Their reapin' with the hoe"

"But look at me I'm cryin'
But not because I'm old
No, not because I'm I'm old
I'm cryin' for something I was told
I remember that they they told me

Ri-ipe apples make a tree seem taller
Tall trees make a small man smaller
How can a small man face
A world as big as this?"

Ri-ipe apples make a tree seem taller
Tall trees make a small man smaller
How can a small man face
A world as big as this?
