You say I’ve aged just like cherry wine_____

And you wanna press your drunken lips on mine_____
Well, forbidden fruit tastes sweet when you are young

You don’t care about the pain until the bee has stung______
Where were you when I was calling

Where were you when I was naïve

Pulling up the wildflowers for you

Where were you when I was blind
