Lemon Tree Lyrics by Ruth Lyon

Nothing’s Perfect

0

[Verse 1]
Lemon tree scent’s all over me
Intoxicating, nectar drunk, I fell asleep
You color in my dreams
With broad brush strokes of a memory
We were keeping busy growing trees
While the whole world went to seed

[Pre-Chorus]
Though we’re all grown up, it still seems so new

[Chorus]
With my eyes wide open, I can see through the trees
And I know now you will be waiting for me
When the world stops turning, sun stops burning
Meet me under the lemon tree

[Verse 2]
Yellow breeze cuts about me, bitter and sweet
And I can almost taste the way you used to make mojitos
On that stormy northern beach
Latеly, round here is been feeling kinda empty
Likе the last blank page of my favorite poetry book
You gave to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Though we’re all grown up, it still seems so new

[Chorus]
With my eyes wide open, I can see through the trees
And I know now you will be waiting for me
When the world stops turning, sun stops burning
Meet me under the lemon tree

[Bridge]
(Ooo, Ooo)
When the world stop turning and the sun starts burning
Meet me, meet me under the lemon tree
Come find me where you know I’ll be

[Chorus]
With my eyes wide open, I can see through the trees
Sitting there arms open you'll be waiting for me
When the world stops turning, sun stops burning
Meet me under the lemon tree

With my eyes wide open
I know now you’ll be waiting for me
When the sun is no longer burning
Meet me under the lemon tree
