Lemon Tree (Fool’s Garden) Don't Speak (No Doubt)

I'm sitting here in a boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon You and me
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do We used to be together
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you Everyday together always
But nothing ever happens and I wonder I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I'm driving around in my car I can't believe
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far This could be the end
I'd like to change my point of view It looks as though you're letting go
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you And if it's real
But nothing ever happens and I wonder Well I don't want to know

I wonder how, I wonder why Don't speak

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky I know just what you're saying
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree So please stop explaining
I'm turning my head up and down Don't tell me cause it hurts
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around Don't speak
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Sing, dah Don't tell me cause it hurts

I'm sitting here, I miss the power Our memories

I'd like to go out, taking a shower Well, they can be inviting
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head But some are altogether
I feel so tired, put myself into bed Mighty frightening
Where nothing ever happens and I wonder As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
Isolation is not the good for me I sit and cry
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy Don't speak
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy I know just what you're saying
And everything will happen and you'll wonder So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
I wonder how, I wonder why Don't speak
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky I know what you're thinking
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree I don't need your reasons
I'm turning my head up and down Don't tell me cause it hurts
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree It's all ending
And I wonder, wonder I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky Don't speak
And all that I can see, and all that I can see I know just what you're saying
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Sailing (Rod Stewart)
Tom’s Diner (Susan Vega)
I am sailing I am sitting
I am sailing In the morning
home again 'cross the sea. At the diner
I am sailing stormy waters On the corner
to be near you to be free.
I am flying I am waiting
I am flying like a bird 'cross the sky At the counter
I am flying passing high clouds to be with you to be free. For the man
To pour the coffee
Can you hear me
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away. And he fills it
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say. Only halfway
Can you hear me And before
can you hear me thro' the dark night far away. I even argue
I am dying forever trying to be with you who can say. (whistle)

We are sailing Tom’s diner

we are sailing home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters to be near you to be free. I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner
Sittin On The Dock of The Bay
I am waiting
(Otis Reading) At the counter
For the man
Sittin' in the mornin' sun To pour the coffee
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah And he fills it
Only halfway
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay And before
Watching the tide roll away I even argue
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time He is looking
Out the window
I left my home in Georgia At somebody
Headed for the 'Frisco bay Coming in
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way "It is always
Nice to see you"
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Says the man
Watching the tide roll away Behind the counter
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
To the woman
Who has come in
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
She is shaking
I can't do what ten people tell me to do Her umbrella
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
And I look
Sittin' here resting my bones The other way
And this loneliness won't leave me alone As they are kissing
It's two thousand miles I roamed Their hellos
Just to make this dock my home
I'm pretending
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Not to see them
Watching the tide roll away And Instead
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay I pour the milk …
Wastin' time

(whistle)
