when i was just a lad of ten, my father said to me, |
[90:00.02] |
"come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree." |
[90:00.03] |
"don't put your faith in love, my boy", my father said to me, |
[90:00.04] |
"i fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree." |
[90:00.06] |
|
[90:00.07] |
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet |
[90:00.08] |
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
[90:00.09] |
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet |
[90:00.10] |
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
[90:00.12] |
|
[90:00.13] |
Beneath the lemon tree one day, my love and i did a lie |
[90:00.14] |
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky. |
[90:00.15] |
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree |
[90:00.16] |
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me: |
[90:00.18] |
|
[90:00.19] |
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet |
[90:00.20] |
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet |
[90:00.22] |
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
[90:00.24] |
|
[90:00.25] |
One day she left without a word. she took away the sun. |
[90:00.26] |
And in the dark she left behind, i knew what she had done. |
[90:00.27] |
She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true. |
[90:00.28] |
A sadder man but wiser now i sing these words to you: |
[90:00.30] |
|
[90:00.31] |
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet |
[90:00.32] |
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
