我有一棵檸檬樹 A Yellow Lemon Tree


在很忙碌,在很辛苦的時候,常常總是苦中作樂哼著歌.小的時候,夢想能有一棵蘋果樹.在加州我很幸運在擁有蘋果樹的同時也有一棵檸檬樹.年紀越大越喜歡那酸酸的滋味,好像在品嘗酸味時能体會到苦後的甘甜.一年四季常掛樹上,黄澄澄的檸檬,從來不知在很多地方,檸檬少見,又小又貴.在外地旅行時,我特別想一小片檸檬.



房客搬家時,两隻狗走失了,我幫著四處找,天暗了,走不動了.只好回家.把邊門打開,將狗飼料放在檸檬樹下....我好久沒有到這後院來過,我四處走走,以前有的枇杷樹,櫻桃樹,李子樹,桃子樹..都沒了.只剩下這棵檸檬樹依然果實纍纍.第二天,我仔細一看,哇,好大的檸檬,怎會這麼大?平常的三,四倍大.心想,太大可能沒有汁吧,採了並打開;很棒的,外表及裏面.

喝著熟透甜甜酸酸的檸檬汁,哼著一首老歌 Yellow Lemon Tree...開始一天的工作

Yellow Lemon Tree

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
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting 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 turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
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
While 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 turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning 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
