"Lemon Tree", originally titled "Lemon Tree", the song was first sung by Fool's Garden (Fool's Garden) in 1996.
The song peaked at #26 in the UK charts, while for several weeks the #1 spot in the German charts was occupied by "Lemon Tree". But it was the heights of 'Lemon Tree' that pushed Fool's Garden into the awkward position of 'One Hit Wonder'.
The band's music never got beyond 'Lemon Tree' and the band fell into obscurity. The song also had an American country version performed by The Brothers Four, which became known to the nation after being covered by Su Huilun. Taiwanese singer Rene Wang covered the song on her album "Everything for Love", which was released on September 23, 2011.
Song lyrics:
I'm sitting here in the boring room.
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.
I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do.
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you.
I'm looking around, I'm waiting for you.
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder.
I'm driving around in my car.
I'm driving around in my car.
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far.
I'm driving the car very fast and very far.
I'd like to change my point of view.
I'd like to live in a different way and see the world from a different angle.
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you.
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you to come back.
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder.
I wonder how, I wonder why.
But all I see is a yellow lemon tree.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
Sing,da ,da la da la, de la da, da la da, de la da, da de le de da
I'm sitting here, I miss the power.
I'm sitting here, I don't have the slightest bit of strength left in me.
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.
I feel so tired, I throw myself into bed.
While nothing ever happens, and I wonder.
Maybe nothing ever happens.
Isolation is not good for me.
Isolation... I don't want to sit on the lemon tree.
Isolation...I don't want to sit on the lemon tree (being isolated).
I'm stepping around in the desert of joy.
I'm pacing around in the desert of joy.
Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy.
And everything will happen, and you wonder.
I wonder how, I wonder why .
I wonder how, I wonder why .
Yesterday you told me about the blue, blue sky.
Yesterday you also told me how beautiful the blue, blue sky would be and how wonderful life would be.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
But what I see is just another lemon tree.
I'm turning my head up and down. I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around.
I'm turning my head up and down, up and down, up and down.
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
All I can see is a yellow lemon tree.
And I wonder, wonder.
I wonder how, I wonder why.
I don't know what to do, I don't know why this is happening.
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky.
Yesterday you also told me how beautiful the blue blue sky would be and how wonderful life would be.
And all that I can see.
And all that I can see.
And all that I can see.
And all that I can see.
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
