 Fruit tree lyrics
 
 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 ruin
 From a much outdated style.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 the 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 were really worth.
 Forgotten while you're here
 Remembered for a while
 A much updated ruin
 From a much outdated style.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'll all know
 That you were here when you're gone.
