When I was just a lad of ten, |
| [00:11.50] |
my father said to me, |
| [00:13.39] |
"Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree. |
| [00:19.05] |
Don't put your faith in love, my boy." |
| [00:22.78] |
My father said to me, |
| [00:24.58] |
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree." |
| [00:30.68] |
Lemon tree very pretty, |
| [00:34.77] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:37.86] |
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
| [00:43.94] |
Lemon tree very pretty, |
| [00:47.73] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:48.18] |
but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. |
| [00:58.06] |
Beneath the lemon tree one day |
| [01:00.34] |
my love and I did lie. |
| [01:03.43] |
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky. |
| [01:09.52] |
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree. |
| [01:14.62] |
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me. |
| [01:21.60] |

| [01:25.09] |

One day she left without a word, |
| [01:51.12] |
she took away the sun. |
| [01:54.54] |
And in the dark she'd left behind, |
| [01:56.77] |
I knew what she had done. |
| [02:01.84] |
She left me for another; |
| [02:06.16] |
it's a common tale but true. |
| [02:10.66] |
A sadder man but wiser now, |
| [02:15.15] |
I sing these words to you. |
| [02:20.05] |
