SONG: THE LEMON TREE by Fool´s Garden
Now watch this video and complete the song below:


LEMON TREE By Fool's Garden
I' (1)_____________ here in a boring room
 it's just another rainy
Sunday afternoon
 I'(2)______________ my time
 I got nothing to do
I'(3) ________________around
 I'(4)_______________ for you
But nothing ever happens- and I wonder
I'(5) ________________ around in my car
 I'(5) __________ too fast
I' (5)_________________ too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
 I'(6) _______________  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 tall 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'(6)__________________ here I miss the power I'd like to go out
taking a shower but there's a heavy cloud in side 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 don't want to
sit on a lemon-tree
I'_______________' around in a desert of joy
 Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
and every thing will happen-
and you'll wonder
 
I wonder how I wonder why
yesterday you told me
'bout the blue blue sky
and all tall 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
