Lemons

When the trees all cease to flower

And the fruits of our labour sour

Will you scrape the taste of lemons from my tongue?

Would you stop me before we've even begun?

Could you help my wooden bones come back to life?

I promise you I cannot tell a lie

So love please won't you stay a while

Hide away with me for just a while more

When the tides rise high around me

And the salt clings tight to drown me

Will you hold my hand and pull me from her grasp?

Would you dry these tired eyes if I just asked?

Could you steer this wooden boat back towards the light?

I promise you I cannot tell a lie

So love please won't you stay a while?

Sail away with me for just a while more

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

Oh I

When the skies all cry and darken

And the sun can't reach our garden

Will you watch the boats come in from stormy seas?

Will you sit with me beneath the lemon trees?

I'll help your wooden bones learn how to fly

I promise next to you is where I'll lie

Oh love just look into my eyes

Won't you stay with me for just a while more?

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

Oh I

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

I will find your eyes in the dark / I will follow you through the dark

Oh I . . .
