Lemon Tree

I’m sitting here in a boring room

ˈaɪm ˈsɪtɪŋ ˈhɪr ˈɪn ə ˈbɔrɪŋ ˈrum

It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon

ˈɪts ˈdʒʌst əˈnʌðɚ ˈreɪnɪ ˈsʌnˌdeɪ ˌæftɚˈnun

I’m wasting my time, I got nothing to do

ˈaɪm ˈweɪstɪŋ ˈmaɪ ˈtʰaɪm | ˈaɪ ˈɡɑt ˈnʌθɪŋ ˈtʰu ˈdu

I’m hanging around, I’m waiting for you

ˈaɪm ˈhæŋɪŋ ɚˈraʊnd | ˈaɪm ˈweɪtɪŋ ˈfɔr ˈju

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

ˈbʌt ˈnʌθɪŋ ˈɛvɚ ˈhæpənz ənd ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ

I’m driving around in my car

ˈaɪm ˈdraɪvɪŋ ɚˈraʊnd ˈɪn ˈmaɪ ˈkʰɑr

I’m driving too fast, I’m driving too far

ˈaɪm ˈdraɪvɪŋ ˈtʰu ˈfæst | ˈaɪm ˈdraɪvɪŋ ˈtʰu ˈfɑr

I’d like to change my point of view

ˈaɪd ˈlaɪk ˈtʰu ˈtʃeɪndʒ ˈmaɪ ˈpʰɔɪnt əv ˈvju

I feel so lonely, I’m waiting for you

ˈaɪ ˈfiɫ ˈsoʊ ˈloʊnlɪ | ˈaɪm ˈweɪtɪŋ ˈfɔr ˈju

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

ˈbʌt ˈnʌθɪŋ ˈɛvɚ ˈhæpənz ənd ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ

I wonder how, I wonder why

ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈhaʊ | ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈwaɪ

Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky

ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ ˈju ˈtʰoʊɫd ˈmi ˈbaʊt ðə ˈblu ˈblu ˈskaɪ

And all that I can see

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi

Is just a yellow lemon tree

ˈɪz ˈdʒʌst ə ˈjɛloʊ ˈlɛmən ˈtri

I’m turning my head up and down

ˈaɪm ˈtʰɝnɪŋ ˈmaɪ ˈhɛd ˈʌp ənd ˈdaʊn

I’m turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around

ˈaɪm ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ ɚˈraʊnd

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi ˈɪz ˈdʒʌst əˈnʌðɚ ˈlɛmən ˈtri

Sing: dah

ˈsɪŋ | ˈdɑ

Da da da da da – di da dah

ˈdɑ ˈdɑ ˈɾɑ ˈɾɑ ˈɾɑ  ˈdɪ ˈɾɑ ˈdɑ

Da da da da da – di dah dah

ˈdɑ ˈdɑ ˈɾɑ ˈɾɑ ˈɾɑ  ˈdɪ ˈɾɑ ˈdɑ

Da di di di dah

ˈdɑ ˈdɪ ˈdɪ ˈdɪ ˈɾɑ

I’m sitting here, I miss the power

ˈaɪm ˈsɪtɪŋ ˈhɪr | ˈaɪ ˈmɪs ðə ˈpʰaʊɚ

I’d like to go out, taking a shower

ˈaɪd ˈlaɪk ˈtʰu ˈɡoʊ ˈaʊt | ˈtʰeɪkɪŋ ə ˈʃaʊɚ

But there’s a heavy cloud inside my head

ˈbʌt ˈðɛrz ə ˈhɛvɪ ˈklaʊd ɪnˈsaɪd ˈmaɪ ˈhɛd

I feel so tired, put myself into bed

ˈaɪ ˈfiɫ ˈsoʊ ˈtʰaɪɚd | ˈpʰʊt maɪˈsɛɫf ˈɪntu ˈbɛd

Well nothing ever happens and I wonder

ˈwɛɫ ˈnʌθɪŋ ˈɛvɚ ˈhæpənz ənd ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ

Isolation is not good for me

ˌaɪsəˈleɪʃən ˈɪz ˈnɑt ˈɡʊd ˈfɔr ˈmi

Isolation

ˌaɪsəˈleɪʃən

I don’t want to sit on a lemon tree

ˈaɪ ˈdoʊnt ˈwɑnt ˈtʰu ˈsɪɾ ˈɑn ə ˈlɛmən ˈtri

I’m steppin’ around in the desert of joy

ˈaɪm ˈstɛpɪŋ ɚˈraʊnd ˈɪn ðə ˈdɛzɚt əv ˈdʒɔɪ

Baby, anyhow I’ll get another toy

ˈbeɪbɪ | ˈɛniˌhaʊ ˈaɪəɫ ˈɡɛt əˈnʌðɚ ˈtʰɔɪ

And everything will happen and you’ll wonder

ənd ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ˈwɪɫ ˈhæpən ənd ˈjuɫ ˈwʌndɚ

I wonder how, I wonder why

ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈhaʊ | ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈwaɪ

Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky

ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ ˈju ˈtʰoʊɫd ˈmi ˈbaʊt ðə ˈblu ˈblu ˈskaɪ

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi ˈɪz ˈdʒʌst əˈnʌðɚ ˈlɛmən ˈtri

I’m turning my head up and down

ˈaɪm ˈtʰɝnɪŋ ˈmaɪ ˈhɛd ˈʌp ənd ˈdaʊn

I’m turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around

ˈaɪm ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ | ˈtʰɝnɪŋ ɚˈraʊnd

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi ˈɪz ˈdʒʌst ə ˈjɛloʊ ˈlɛmən ˈtri

Yeah and I wonder, wonder

ˈjɛə ənd ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ | ˈwʌndɚ

I wonder how, I wonder why

ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈhaʊ | ˈaɪ ˈwʌndɚ ˈwaɪ

Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue blue sky

ˈjɛstɚˌdeɪ ˈju ˈtʰoʊɫd ˈmi ˈbaʊt ðə ˈblu ˈblu ˈskaɪ

And all that I can see

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi

And all that I can see

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

ənɾ ˈɑɫ ˈðæɾ ˈaɪ kən ˈsi ˈɪz ˈdʒʌst ə ˈjɛloʊ ˈlɛmən ˈtri
