/ Rufus Wainwright / I think this song is very hard to interpret as well
/ Peach Trees / as many other of his songs, but check out the website
/ Want Two / songmeanings.net, which always has a good input:

The indicated chords is the way Rufus plays the song live. It's impossible to
transcribe them from the album version, and these work perfectly fine as well.
When the same chord appears in a new shape, play the new one from there and on.
The symbol % means to just stay on the previous chord.

LYRICS
**********
Is true love a trip to Chinatown
Or being held in one's opium gaze
Under the peach trees
There I'll sit and wait
Is true love a long walk through Bryant Park
Or being held in the month of May
Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
There I will be
Will be until you come and get me
Cause I'm so tired of waiting in restaurants
Reading the critics and comics alone
With a waiter with a face made for currency
Like a coin in ancient Rome
And I really do wish you were here next to me
'Cause I'm going to see James Dean
There I will be
Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
Under, under, under the peach trees with him
Jon Sebastian Frederiksen - 20th /June /10
