The boatman calls from the lake
Dm                         G
A lone loon dives upon the water

I put my hand over her

Down in the lime tree arbour

Am
The wind in the trees is whispering
Dm                    G
Whispering low that I love her
Am
She puts her hand over mine
F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

G
Through every breath that I breathe
Am                F

Down in the lime tree arbour
