a sick lemon tree

there is a lemon tree in our backyard. It was neglected, hardly ever watered for about 18 mths. It did produce some lemons before we moved in but now the bark is peeling and all the leaves & branches look dead, however there is only one young lemon growing now. I have increased the watering & applied a plant food that is supposed to be good for citrus trees..my question Is the tree dead or is there hope?
