[Verse 1] Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound It can never flourish Til its stock is in the ground So men of fame Can never find a way Til time has flown Far from their dying day [Chorus] Forgotten while youre here Remembered for a while A muchupdated ruin From a muchoutdated style [Verse 2] Life is but a memory Happened long ago Theatre full of sadness For a longforgotten show Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Til you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why [Verse 3] Safe in the womb Of an everlasting night Youll find the darkness can Give the brightest light Safe in your place deep in the earth Thats when theyll know what you were really worth [Chorus] Forgotten while youre here Remembered for a while A muchupdated ruin From a muchoutdated style [Verse 1] Fame is but a fruit tree So very unsound It can never flourish Til its stock is in the ground So men of fame Can never find a way Til time has flown Far from their dying day [Outro] Fruit tree, fruit tree No one knows you but the rain and the air Dont you worry Theyll stand and stare when youre gone Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year Theyll all know That you were here when youre gone
