Lyrics

Verse I
We roamed through the orchard
A half a dozen ripe in our bag
We tend to each other
You’re the best love that I’ve had

Verse II
We weaved through the branches
You’re always protecting my back
One foot behind the other
It’s never my heart that fears attack

Chorus I
So when you go
When you go
Take a piece of me with you

Verse III
We loved on one another
Grass stains on our knees
The world supplied us with each other
And now we only live to please

Verse IV
We picked golden delicious
And romanticized the bees
Our love grows in cycles
Like the wisdom of the trees

Chorus II
So when you go
When you go
When you go
When you go
Take a piece of me with you

Outro
