Fruit Tree Songtext

Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground So men of fame Can never find a way Till time has flown Far from their dying day Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated rain From a much updated style Life is but a memory Happened long ago Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why Safe in a womb of an everlasting night You find the darkness can give the brightest light Safe in your place deep in the earth That's when they'll know What you are really worth Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated rain From a much updated style Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound It can never flourish Till its stalk is in the ground So men of fame can never find a way Till time has flown far from their dying day Fruit tree Fruit tree No one knows you but the rain and the air Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone Fruit tree Fruit tree Open your eyes to another year They will know that you were here
