One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home

Now the party's over, I'm so tired Then I see you coming, out of nowhere Much communication, in a motion Without conversation, or a notion Avalon When the samba takes you, out of nowhere With the background fading, out of focus Yes the picture's changing, every moment And your destination, you don't know it Avalon

Have you heard about the lonesome loser Beaten by the queen of hearts every time Have you heard about the lonesome loser He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you And her face is like a sail Speck of white so fair and pale Have you seen a lady fairer? She comes in colours ev'rywhere She combs her hair She's like a rainbow Coming, colours in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colours

The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard When I was young I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls, I had a bad yen And I had quite a ball When I was young

I want to tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat Comes out of the Virginia swamps Cool and slow with plenty of precision With a back beat narrow and hard to master Some call it heavenly in its brilliance Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping This is the land where the Pharaoh died

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end of our elaborate plans The end of everything that stands The end No safety or surprise The end I'll never look into your eyes again Can you picture what will be? So limitless and free Desperately in need of some stranger's hand In a desperate land

Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone Bodies confused Memories misused As we run from the day To a strange night of stone

I know you wanna leave me But I refuse to let you go If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy I don't mind, 'cause you mean that much to me

Suicide blonde was the color of her hair Like a cheap distraction for a new affair She knew it would finish before it began Wow baby I think you lost the plan You want to make her suicide blonde Love devastation, suicide blonde You want to make her suicide blonde Love devastation, suicide blonde

At school they taught me how to be So pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed For everything I long to do No matter when or where or who Has one thing in common too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin
