Take a bite from the apple

Tart, sweet, and bitter

Terrific fruit

Cold store through the winter

Your humor is golden

It cracks my shell

Some days we’re different

Most days I know you so well

Yeah, I suppose I knew the answer

I thought I knew the answer

But whatever I said it must have just been to fill the space

Almost coughing

Holding it in

Waiting for the traffic light

To go green to red to green again

I get frozen up with grieving

Surprise consternation

No pattern to follow

Just the guidelines on the pavement

Yeah, I suppose I knew the answer

I thought I knew the answer

But whatever I said it must have just been to fill the space

Holding on

Espousing beliefs

Are we getting older

Or are these just stronger drinks

Yeah, who’s feeling risky

Say something profane

A small bit of truth

Free up a shadow in your brain

Yeah, I suppose I knew the answer

I thought I knew the answer

But whatever I said it must have just been to fill the space
