[Verse 1]
Tonight it’s raining and the mountains are misty, reminding me of wintertime
Strange that it’s late spring and the firewood is burning, strange that it’s spring and that
In a hotel room across the ocean, I’m not tossing and turning
[Verse 2]
On the end table, the same old vase, filled with oleanders and sweet peas
And there’s my boxing encyclopedia from the 1950s, and I just read the old records of Tiger Flowers
And Willie Ritchie
[Pre-Chorus]
And yesterday while I was cutting my lawn, I stumbled on a patch of lemon balm
I thought it might be mint, but you told mе I was wrong
You sniffed it with caution and said that you were surе it was lemon balm
[Chorus]
Lemon balm
Lemon balm
Lemon balm
[Verse 3]
The cat, she’s asleep, with her there’s few surprises
And I’ve just opened The Sun Also Rises
Lost in a world of trout fishing in Basque County, Spain
Last time I was in Spain it was much like here
Mountainous, mystical, and pouring rain
Tonight it’s raining and the mountains are misty, reminding me of wintertime
Strange that it’s late spring and the firewood is burning, strange that it’s spring and that
In a hotel room across the ocean, I’m not tossing and turning
[Verse 2]
On the end table, the same old vase, filled with oleanders and sweet peas
And there’s my boxing encyclopedia from the 1950s, and I just read the old records of Tiger Flowers
And Willie Ritchie
[Pre-Chorus]
And yesterday while I was cutting my lawn, I stumbled on a patch of lemon balm
I thought it might be mint, but you told mе I was wrong
You sniffed it with caution and said that you were surе it was lemon balm
[Chorus]
Lemon balm
Lemon balm
Lemon balm
[Verse 3]
The cat, she’s asleep, with her there’s few surprises
And I’ve just opened The Sun Also Rises
Lost in a world of trout fishing in Basque County, Spain
Last time I was in Spain it was much like here
Mountainous, mystical, and pouring rain
