Lyrics to Lemon Tree Song by  Peter Paul & May

I'm sittin' here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm wasting my time

I got nothin' to do

I'm hangin' around

I'm waitin' for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm drivin' around in my car

I'm drivin' too fast

I'm drivin' too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely

I'm waitin' 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 turnin' my head up and down

I'm turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin' around

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

Sing!

Dap-dadada-dadpm-didap-da

Dadada-dadpm-didap-da

Dap-didili-da

I'm sittin' here

I miss the power

I'd like to go out takin' 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 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 turnin' my head up and down

I'm turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin' around

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

And I 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

Me and my brothers grew up most of our very young years living with my mom at our grandmother's house.. She had a big beautiful lemon tree that I used to climb and hang out in as a kid.. We used to make fresh lemonade with freshly grown mint year after year from that beautiful tree.. After my grandmother passed away some gardeners over- pruned that lemon tree. It was so bad that it withered and died and when I found out it broke my heart remembering my grandmother's homemade Lemon Cake that she used to make from the lemons of that tree and all the memories.. This song is from back then in that era.. I loved it as a child and now it has even more meaning.
