Just another Lemon Tree

The title of the blog is a song by Fools Garden
I just love the song and many a times identify with it... Its like the song is exactly telling about how I feel...

Situation 1: This happens quite sometimes when I am just sitting around lazily ( waiting for my husband to come back home and take me on a drive) with no idea what do I do with my time...

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

Situation 2: Out on a long drive and this song is playing and we swinging are heads to its rhythm :)

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

Situation 3:  General amazement at life and the challenges it throws at you... i love to sing this song when i stand in front of my wardrobe staring the overstuffed shelfs and still repeatedly saying that I have nothing to wear ( my husbands call me full nautanki ( drama queen) at such times)

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

Situation 4: This is the situation which occurs when I am hurt because somebody said/did something to me bad or I am down and out with my brain doing overtime by thinking crap. 

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
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Situation 5: Now this is my favorite part... I totally identify with the lyrics.. I hate being alone, i can not even eat a meal alone.. but when my husband goes to office I make the idiot box my company for lunch ( lame but effective when one is home alone, though now a days I am doing my MBA so I have my friends to keep me company)
Also when ever the internal turmoil ends, the joy it brings with it unsurmountable :)

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 know sometimes or the other all of us come across such moments in one way or  another.. But then thats life and whats the point when you get all the things the easy way... I think happiness needs to be earned and the challenges that life throws at us makes us a better human being ( i know all this GYAAN is simply run of mill but then its the truth)

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

  4. Lemon Tree. Sigh! One of the best to have been created along with Freebird, STH and Creep. Never thought of so many dimensions, though.
