Lemon Tree歌词

When I was just a lad of ten
My father said to me
Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
Don't put your faith in love, my boy
My father said to me
I fear you'll find that love is like a lovely lemon tree
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
One day beneath the lemon tree, my lover and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter is my father's words from me
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
One day she left without a word
She took away the sun
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done
She left me for another, it's a common tale but true
A sadder man but wider now
I sing these words to you
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree
Lemon tree
Lemon tree
Lemon tree
