Lemon Tree

You must really want to tear me down
Trash my reputation
Turn me into nothing
Curse the very earth where I was born
But if I may just say
I feel the same way about you

Went to the lawyer
Found it disconcerting
Because his frank assessment
Was that the music would all be gone
Along with the money
Along with my daughter
Who's everything

Great expectations
Turning into nothing
Like watering the concrete
And watching for some little shoots to bloom
From the wreck of my life
The twice each week I see my child
If there's a chance that wet cement could yield a garden
I'll pasture my days

As Summer fades to Autumn
I become a lemon tree
Bitter above all
Just a little lemon tree
My leaves begin to fall
I'm a little lemon tree
Bitter above all
Just a little lemon tree
All my life I thought I would be evergreen
Bitter above all
Just a little lemon tree
Just a little lemon tree
