Lime Tree

Lyrics

I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes
 And since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one
 Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
 You left another message, said, "it's done,
 It's done"
 ♪
 When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time
 Old friends I never visit, well I remember what they're like
 Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies
 Waiting to be asked to come inside
 Just come inside
 But I keep going out
 And I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down
 It's 8 a.m. my heart is beating too loud
 Too loud
 
 Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much
 
 I felt something that I had never touched
 ♪
 Everything gets smaller now the further that I go
 Towards the mouth and the reunion of the Known and the Unknown
 Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home
 You can move mountains with your misery if you don't
 Well if you don't
 ♪
 It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two
 Under the eaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit
 Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth
 There will never be a time more opportune
 ♪
 So I just won't be late
 The window closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave
 And all the color drains out of the frame
 ♪
 So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good
 I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
 I felt lost and found with every step I took
