Under the evening stars i walk
The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet
On a summer night, In the Orchard
My car is parked down, side of the road
Over the mountains, the red moon glows
Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard
I've been to this place so many times
Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind
I'm walking through the trees, In the Orchard
Still I see it, when I close my eyes
When sleep's about to come after a restless night
I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard
The seasons of my lofe, I watched them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch
I remember you and me, In the Orchard
As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp
Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget
And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard
And when the spark of life is almost gone
The seasons slow then stop, and I'll see spring no more
It calls me into forever, In the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watch them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch; into forever... In the Orchard
The smell of cool, damp earth beneath my feet
On a summer night, In the Orchard
My car is parked down, side of the road
Over the mountains, the red moon glows
Soon the summer will be over, In the Orchard
I've been to this place so many times
Down roads and rows of dreams in my mind
I'm walking through the trees, In the Orchard
Still I see it, when I close my eyes
When sleep's about to come after a restless night
I go there in my dreams, Back to the Orchard
The seasons of my lofe, I watched them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch
I remember you and me, In the Orchard
As the days of youth, slip farther from my grasp
Still it haunts me, like a song i cant forget
And now frost covers the ground, In the Orchard
And when the spark of life is almost gone
The seasons slow then stop, and I'll see spring no more
It calls me into forever, In the Orchard
The seasons of my life, I watch them pass
The blossomes of spring fall, leaving only winter's naked branch; into forever... In the Orchard

As his life moves on as it inevitably does, he remembers that night in the orchard and compares it too his life moving quickly by and out of his grasp. I think he passed the orchard regularly and saw it change through the seasons at various points in his life and he beautifully compares this to life itself.
This is his happy place and when he closes his eyes for the last time, this is where he will be going.
I absolutely love this song, although I feel quite emotional when listening to it as I have similar memories from my chilhood that I hold on too and think about from time to time as life fly's by!
This song is probably all metaphorical for different memories and emotions he went through in this place that he grew up in. And what better setting to use in this early country-ish song then and Orchard? I personally like TA's country like songs. They fit in with their style and are just so peaceful and full of imagery. At least this one is.
