Honey from the Lion
Sheets drawn across us
Fragrance of blossoms
Hummingbird throw your tongue into us
You dug a tunnel
Then came the runnel
Water has a way of seeping in
Had no one to bargain with
I admit, I believed in the myth
I sold you, but you weren't buyin
You ran away with the dish and spoon
But I know you, and knowin' you
You'd grab a handful of honey from the lion
The flood has receded
I scan the beaches
And measure our love with a whalebone
Whitewashed and sun-dried
Inside and outside
It was much too much to carry home
Wind-up dream, winding down
Make it last
I don't know how I lost you
But I'm still cryin'
Pounding with a fist of steel
Everyone knew your last meal
Would be a handful of honey from the lion
Fragrance of blossoms
Hummingbird throw your tongue into us
You dug a tunnel
Then came the runnel
Water has a way of seeping in
Had no one to bargain with
I admit, I believed in the myth
I sold you, but you weren't buyin
You ran away with the dish and spoon
But I know you, and knowin' you
You'd grab a handful of honey from the lion
The flood has receded
I scan the beaches
And measure our love with a whalebone
Whitewashed and sun-dried
Inside and outside
It was much too much to carry home
Wind-up dream, winding down
Make it last
I don't know how I lost you
But I'm still cryin'
Pounding with a fist of steel
Everyone knew your last meal
Would be a handful of honey from the lion
