[00:00.000]Under The Lime Tree - Angelo Branduardi
[00:26.594]Down in the greenwood under the lime tree
[00:30.042]We spent lover's hours
[00:33.455]And if you pass by you'll know we lay there
[00:36.740]Look how we crushed all the flowers
[00:39.974]The insects buzzed and the nightingales sang
[00:43.454]High above the forest on a soft south wind
[00:47.492]Point and laugh if you come walking past
[00:50.410]I don't care at all how red her mouth is
[00:59.335]Down in the greenwood under the lime tree
[01:02.679]Crushing the grass and the sweet herbs
[01:06.172]There in the roses I laid my head down
[01:09.439]See where the petals are disturbed
[01:12.755]And if you accuse her of lying there with me
[01:16.317]This I know for sure she will never be ashamed:
[01:19.834]She was the one the one and only woman
[01:22.821]I ever came to wish would whisper my name
[01:26.882]Down in the greenwood under the lime tree
[01:30.227]The lily embraces the ivy
[01:33.790]And if you pass by stop look and marvel
[01:36.901]At how she has grown to survive him
[01:40.139]For she stayed here with me for just a year
[01:43.630]And bound her hair with gold
[01:45.100]Oh my little white dove
[01:47.520]One fine day she turned into a hawk
[01:50.416]And flew off to the sun to find a new love
[02:03.597]Up in the blue sky ever the wind flies
[02:06.785]Searching the clouds of his dreamland
[02:10.203]The dream is for beauty but he'll
[02:11.939]Never catch her
[02:13.669]She'll always slip through his hands
[02:17.099]And thus we live forever and the dream
[02:20.422]Just like the wind and clouds will escape us
[02:37.977]And thus we live forever and the world
[02:41.207]Just like the wind and clouds will escape us
