Lemon Tree Song

****************************************************************************

I ___ __________here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I ___ __________ my time
I got nothing to do
I ___ __________ around
I___ __________ for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I___ __________ around in my car
I___ __________ too fast
I___ __________ too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I___ __________ 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___ __________ my head up and down
I___ turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

Sing, dah...

I___ __________ 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
While 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 steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another 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
Yellow, wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout 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
