When I was just a lad of ten, |
| [00:10.00] |
my father said to me, |
| [00:11.89] |
"Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree. |
| [00:17.55] |
Don't put your faith in love, my boy." |
| [00:21.28] |
My father said to me, |
| [00:23.08] |
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree." |
| [00:29.18] |
Lemon tree very pretty, |
| [00:33.27] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:36.36] |
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |

Lemon tree very pretty, |
| [00:46.23] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:46.68] |
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |

Beneath the lemon tree one day |
| [00:58.84] |
my love and I did lie. |
| [01:01.93] |
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky. |
| [01:08.02] |
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree. |
| [01:13.12] |
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me. |
| [01:20.10] |

One day she left without a word, |
| [01:49.62] |
she took away the sun. |
| [01:53.04] |
And in the dark she'd left behind, |
| [01:55.27] |
I knew what she had done. |
| [02:00.34] |
She left me for another; |
| [02:04.66] |
it's a common tale but true. |
| [02:09.16] |
A sadder man but wiser now, |
| [02:13.65] |
I sing these words to you. |
| [02:18.55] |
