Orange Tree from Anxious Love by Cassidy Dickens

If I had an orange tree,
Shady, tall, and evergreen,
We could pick the sweetest fruit,
Share a book upon its roots.
Would you spend your afternoon with me,
If I had an orange tree?

Oh, I can't give you oceans blue,
But I'll save all my for you.

If I had a heart of sand,
Caving like unsturdy land,
I'd still try my very best
To keep my ear pressed to your chest
And catch your worries in my hands.
If I had a heart of sand.

Oh, I can't give you oceans blue,
But I'll save all my love for you.
No, I can't give you oceans blue,
But I'll save all my love for you.

Ooh . . .

If I had the whole damn sea—
Miles wide and fathoms deep—
Would you roll in with the tide?
Could I keep you by my side,
And let the waves rock us to sleep
If I had the whole damn sea?

If I had an orange tree
Just like the ones you long to see . . .
If I could take your dreams of home
And make them true right where we are,
My darling—then would you stay with me?
If I had an orange tree.
If I had an orange tree.
