Tonjua Hawkins - Under the Lemon Tree Lyrics

Sittin' under the lemon tree in the garden in Klondike
Sun's a golden friend that I kinda like
I sing and play with my guitar, everything else seems so far
Whispers of the breeze tickle my mind, leaves dancin' slow like the passage of time

Six dreams hangin' from the branches high
Hummin' tunes to the clear blue sky
The soil's tellin' tales of the days gone by
While ants make their march in a neat little line

Oh, life feels so sweet beneath this tree crown
Laughin' with the birds as they come around
Lemonade for the troubled and the proud
Under the lemon tree, away from the crowd

Wild pigs in the distance, just like woolly clouds
Nature's orchestra without a single frown
The world might be wild, but here it's so tame
Every lemon drop drippin' stories with no shame

Shadow's gettin' longer as the day's set to slide
Stars will soon sparkle like diamonds on a bride
But for now, I'll stay in this yellow embrace
With love and peace wrapped around my space

Oh, life feels so sweet beneath this tree crown
Laughin' with the birds as they come around
Lemonade for the troubled and the proud
Under the lemon tree, away from the crowd

Instrumental
Oh, life feels so sweet beneath this tree crown
Laughin' with the birds as they come around
Lemonade for the troubled and the proud

Under the lemon tree, away from the crowd
