“Cherry” is an ode to Amy’s beloved guitar, most likely given the name due to its colour. The song personifies Cherry, playing her out as a real person in Amy’s life.
Amy with her guitar, Cherry
The page in Amy’s songwriting journal that featured the original lyrics to “Cherry” was put on display...
[Verse 1]
Her name is Cherry, we've just met
But already she knows me better than you
She understands me after eighteen years
And you still don't see me like you ought to do
[Verse 2]
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
While I love her every sound
I don't know how to tune you down
You're so thick and my patience's thin
So I got me a new best friend
With a pickup that puts you to shame
And Cherry is her name
[Verse 3]
And when I'm lonely, Cherry's there
And she plays along while I sing out my blues
I could be crying, and you don't care
You won't call me back, you're stubborn as a mule
Maybe we could talk 'bout things
If you was made of wood and strings
You might think I've gone too far
I'm talking 'bout my new guitar
