Runrig
The Cutter And The Clan
The Tallest Apple
With me
Are you here
My eyes closed, my memory dark
Standing watching
Every hill and every valley
The seed you left there grows
The garden is full
With brave trees
With respect There's plenty for us to pick
Ripe apples
Sweet sharp
But there's one apple we never get to
And who among us
Will last a day
Beyond morning and night itself
A long time
I climbed up
To put the highest apple in my mouth
Wind will blow and sun will shine
Through appreciation of the trees lin to lin
But the day comes and the time comes
For the highest apple
On the tree
The Highest Apple
At present
All you were is with me
My eyes closed, my memory confident
Standing here watching
Each hill and shoreline
With the seed you left
Still growing
The garden is well stocked
With mighty trees
With fruit growing for the whole world
Ripe, sweet
And bitter apples
And the one apple
That is beyond reach
Who amongst us
Can exist a single day
Beyond our own time and our own limits
Countless and futile
Are times I've climbed
To reach and taste
The forbidden fruit
The winds will blow
And the sun will shine
From generation to generation
Through the trees of the garden
But the day and the hour
Will surely come
To take the highest apple
From the knowledge tree
