[90:00.01]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.

[90:00.13]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.

[90:00.22]But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

[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.
