about

This is an 'answer ballad' based on the traditional folk song I gave my love and apple (without any core)

lyrics

A cold wind blows through a house without a door
And it calls across the water a withering roar
This love is like an apple without any core
And I'm not fixing a stranger anymore

There's a beginning of no end to the ringing of my hands
And I long for open ears some kind of understanding
This voice it isn't singing why it doesn't even cry
And I'm not joining a stranger in a lie

You hope your heart a palace wherein your love will be
But he didn't have the courage and he didn't keep the key
You may think you've found a cherry that doesn't have a stone
But he skimmed it across the water and just let the flesh alone
