 LEMON TREE
by Fool's Garden

I'm _______ here in the boring room.

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.
I'm _______ my time.
I got nothing to do.
I'm _________ around.
I'm _________for you.
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder.

I'm _________around in my car.

I'm _______ too fast.
I'm ________ too far.
I'd like to change my point of view.
I feel so lonely.
I'm _________for you.
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder.

[Chorus:]
I wonder how.
I wonder why.
Yesterday you told me
About the blue, blue sky.
 And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree.
I'm ________ my head up and down.
I'm _______, ________, ________,
_________, ________ around.
And all that I can see
Is just another lemon tree.

I'm _________ 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.
Well, nothing ever happens
And I wonder.

Isolation is not good for me.

Isolation.
I don't want to sit on the lemon tree.

I'm _________ around

In the desert of joy.
Baby, anyhow
I'll get another toy.
And everything will happen and you wonder.

[Chorus]

And I wonder, wonder.

I wonder how.
I wonder why.
Yesterday you told me
About the blue, blue sky.
And all that I can see,
And all that I can see,
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree.
