You only give me what you
Don't want no more
Ask the questions that you
Don't know at all

Let's lie down for a while
You can't smile
Lay your head in the old
Old fashion

You know how it is my friend
In the boxes of those picture frames
Hold your inside 'cause you're cold at night
Warm your heart, love, 'cause you're by my side

Let's lie down for a while
You can't smile
Lay your head in the old
old fashion

Lay your head in the
Apple orchard
Take your time
You can settle down
Hold your breath 'cause you're
Good at nothing
Hold your hand only
For a while

    General Comment:i think it's about being in love with someone who is sad, and consoling them - telling them everything is alright. the sad lover has possibly been distant for a while and the singer is asking for the lover to lay their head down, like they used to, "in the old fashion". this is just my interpretation, and it is quite sparse, so i'm happy to be corrected.

    General Comment:strange. i thought it was this.



    Lay your hand on me

    Apple orchard

    Take your time

    You can settle down

    Hold your breath

    'Cause you're, you are nothing

    Hold your hand on me

    For a while

    lay your head in the apple orchard
    take your time you can settle down
    hold your breath 'cause you're you're in love here
    hold your head in the hollow wood
