[转帖]LEMON TREE

LEMON TREE

(Will Holt)

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 the lovely lemon tree"

"Lemon tree, very pretty,and the lemon flower is sweet,

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat"

One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky

We past that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree

The music of her laughter hid my fathers word from me:

"Lemon tree, very pretty,and the lemon flower is sweet,

But 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 wiser, now I sing these words to you;

Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
