Under The Lime Tree - Angelo Branduardi

Down in the greenwood under the lime tree

We spent lover's hours

And if you pass by you'll know we lay there

Look how we crushed all the flowers

The insects buzzed and the nightingales sang

High above the forest on a soft south wind

Point and laugh if you come walking past

I don't care at all how red her mouth is

Down in the greenwood under the lime tree

Crushing the grass and the sweet herbs

There in the roses I laid my head down

See where the petals are disturbed

And if you accuse her of lying there with me

This I know for sure she will never be ashamed:

She was the one the one and only woman

I ever came to wish would whisper my name

Down in the greenwood under the lime tree

The lily embraces the ivy

And if you pass by stop look and marvel

At how she has grown to survive him

For she stayed here with me for just a year

And bound her hair with gold

Oh my little white dove

One fine day she turned into a hawk

And flew off to the sun to find a new love

Up in the blue sky ever the wind flies

Searching the clouds of his dreamland

The dream is for beauty but he'll

Never catch her

She'll always slip through his hands

And thus we live forever and the dream

Just like the wind and clouds will escape us

And thus we live forever and the world

Just like the wind and clouds will escape us
