Drake Nick Fruit Tree Lyrics

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 From a much outdated style.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 From a much outdated style.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 you eyes to another year.

 They'll all know

 That you were here when you're gone.
