Lemon Tree - The Brothers Four

[00:7.459]When I was just a lad of ten
[00:10.232]My father said to me
[00:12.875]Come here and learn a lesson from
[00:15.752]The lovely lemon tree
[00:18.586]Don't put your faith in love my boy
[00:21.365]My father said to me
[00:24.216]I fear you'll find that love is like
[00:27.145]The lovely lemon tree
[00:30.334]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.15]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:36.994]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:39.921]Is impossible to eat
[00:42.951]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:45.788]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:48.818]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:51.795]Is impossible to eat
[00:54.983]Beneath the lemon tree one day
[01:00.4]My love and I did lie
[01:05.05]A girl so sweet that when she smiled
[01:09.8]The stars rose in the sky
[01:14.52]We passed that summer lost in love
[01:19.32]Beneath the lemon tree
[01:23.87]The music of her laughter hid
[01:29.]My father's words from me
[01:34.47]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:40.53]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:45.5]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:50.46]Is impossible to eat
[01:55.44]Lemon tree very pretty
[01:60.22]And the lemon flower is sweet
[01:66.03]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[01:71.62]Is impossible to eat
[01:78.69]One day she left without a word
[01:83.73]She took away the sun
[01:88.32]And in the dark she left behind
[01:93.63]I knew what she had done
[01:98.08]She'd left me for another
[02:03.12]It's a common tale but true
[02:08.01]A sadder man but wiser now
[02:12.56]I sing these words to you
[02:18.57]Lemon tree very pretty
