LEMON TREE
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
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the 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 stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
the music of her laughter hid my father's words from me
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat
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 tail but true
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon Tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

* / ~MUSIC FOREVER~
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 Im 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 turing 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 my lemon tree
I'm stepping aroung 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 the 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
An all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
