Fruit Tree Songtext
von Grażyna Auguścik

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound
It can never flourish
Till its stock is in the ground
So men of fame
Can never find the 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From a much outdated style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
Theater 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 truly 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From a much outdated style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 stock is in the ground
So men of fame
Can never find the way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day

Fruit tree
Fruit tree

No one knows you
But the rain and the earth
Don't you worry
They′ll stand and stare
When you′re gone
Fruit tree
Fruit tree
Open your eyes
To another earth

They'll know
That you were here
When you′re gone
