My Heart Is an Apple Lyrics

"You know how it is when your heart drops. Like a fall-bruised apple in the cold morning of autumn."

Just reading that, and remembering this song, I've never felt more like I have a rich, red and ripe apple in the center of my being.

Think of all the connections. The phrase, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." We all want a healthy heart. Apples grow and ripen and taste delicious and bruise and die and rot and each apple has the potential to grow an entire tree.

Reminds me of the video for that Death Cab song, I forget which, but where there is an animated heart that gets broken half to death until it finally does die, and from its rotten remains grows a flower.

I am most convinced that my heart is an apple, and I hope for the world's sake, that yours is too.
