[00:27.03]Is like the lovely lemon tree
[00:30.27]Lemon tree very pretty
[00:34.22]And the lemon flower is sweet
[00:37.66]But the fruit of the poor lemon
[00:40.22]Is impossible to eat

[00:56.51]Beneath the lemon tree one day
[01:00.27]My love and I did a lie
[01:02.52]A girl so sweet that when she smiled
[01:05.22]The sun rose in the sky
[01:08.16]We passed that summer
[01:09.85]Lost in love beneath the lemon tree
[01:13.66]The music of her laughter
[01:16.10]Hid my father's words from me

[01:51.30]And in the dark she left behind
[01:54.73]I knew what she had done
