Apple Of My Eye

Apple of My Eye

When the rain came I was in a tattoo parlor… bare chest.
I closed my eyes as the artist found the fullness of your breast.
I'm taken back to the afternoon, the rain and how we met.

We both ducked under an awning… you looked pretty wet.

Chorus:
Apple of my eye, Apple of my eye, Apple of my eye, Apple of my eye

As we waited for the storm to pass, I dared not say a word.
Such emotions are not conveyed by words.
Something in my longing, you must have overheard. 'cause then I saw the rainbow in the colors of another world.

CHORUS * 2

When the rain came I was in a backwoods cabin, taking rest.
I closed my eyes as I nuzzled in the folds of your summer dress.
I'm taken back to January, the evening of the crash.
Your shadow walked behind me, the willow watched you pass.

CHORUS

Something in my longing, you must have overheard. 'cause then I saw the rainbow in the eyes of another girl.
{colors of another world :2nd voice}.
Something in my longing, you must have overheard. 'cause then I saw the rainbow in the eyes of another girl.

And then the rain came, the rain came, rain came, rain came, rain came.
When the rain came I was in a backwoods cabin.
When the rain came I was in a backwoods cabin.

Something in my longing, you must have overheard. 'cause then I saw the rainbow ...
