LEMON TREE - FOOL'S GARDEN

I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder

I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down I'm turning turning turning turning
turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

I'm sitting here I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
but there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired put myself into bed
Where nothing ever happens - and I wonder

Isolation - is not good for me
Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
and everything will happen - and you'll wonder

I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down I'm turning turning turning turning
turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

> --I don't know of Fools' Garden, but if this is the folk standard that's
been around for three or four decades, I can offer these, from memory of
the Peter, Paul and Mary recording (1963?).

When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Don't put your faith in love, my boy," my father said to me.
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."

(CHORUS) Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie:
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree;
The music of her laughter his my father's words from me.

(CHORUS)

One day she left, without a word. She took away the sun,
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She'd left me for another: it's a common tale, but true.
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you:

(CHORUS)

If it's not the same song, my apologies.

I'll sing you one-oh,

HI ! Here are the words

I'm Sitting Here In A Boring Room
It's Just Another Rainy Sunday Afternoon
I'm Wasting My Time I Got Nothing To Do
I'm Hanging Around I'm Waiting For You
But Nothing Ever Happens - And I Wonder

I'm Driving Around In My Car
I'm Driving Too Fast I'm Driving Too Far
I'd Like To Change My Point Of View
I Feel So Lonely I'm Waiting For You
But Nothing Ever Happens - And I Wonder

I Wonder How I Wonder Why
Yesterday You Told Me 'bout The Blue Blue Sky
And All That I Can See Is Just A Yellow Lemon-tree
I'm Turning My Head Up And Down
I'm Turning Turning Turning Turning Turning Around
And All That I Can See Is Just A Yellow Lemon-tree

I'm Sitting Here I Miss The Power
I'd Like To Go Out Taking A Shower
But There's A Heavy Cloud Inside My Head
I Feel So Tired Put Myself Into Bed
Where Nothing Ever Happens - And I Wonder

Isolation - Is Not Good For Me
Isolation - I Don't Want To Sit On A Lemon-tree
I'm Steppin' Around In A Desert Of Joy
Baby Anyhow I'll Get Another Toy
And Everything Will Happen - And You'll Wonder

I Wonder How I Wonder Why
Yesterday You Told Me 'bout The Blue Blue Sky
And All That I Can See Is Just A Yellow Lemon-tree
I'm Turning Around My Head Up And Down
I'm Turning Turning Turning Turning Turning Around
And All That I Can See Is Just A Yellow Lemon-tree.
