Lyrics

Smokey is my apple
And green are my eyes
Silent as snowfall
I whisper goodbyes:
Farewell to the child
That I used to be
I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby..."

The wolf and the lion
Have asked me to play
'Though she told me not to
I went anyway
A pile of matches
The truth at my feet
I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby..."

The cream in my tea
Spells out something to me
And they say that I'll heal by the day
But the message I give
Kills off all will to live
I'm afraid that I'm losing my way
Burning in heaven
My destiny lies
When she read my stars
She didn't mention that night

I loved you my bambi
I don't want to leave
But I hold her, she's sobbing
"My baby..."
