Sting · Other Songs - Sting
ItÂ’s just another rainy sunday afternoon
IÂ’m wasting my time I got nothing to do
IÂ’m hanging around IÂ’m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder
IÂ’m driving around in my car
IÂ’m driving too fast IÂ’m driving too far
IÂ’d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely IÂ’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
IÂ’m turning my head up and down
IÂ’m turningturning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
IÂ’m sitting here I miss the power
IÂ’d like to go out taking a shower
but thereÂ’sa heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired put myself into bed
where nothing ever happens - and I wonder
Isolation - is not good for me
Isolation - I donÂ’t want to sit on a lemon tree
IÂ’m steppinÂ’ around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow IÂ’ll get another toy and everything will happen
- and youÂ’ll 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
IÂ’m turning my head up and down
IÂ’m turningturning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
