The Wallflowers - Honeybee lyrics

Seen the shadow on my wall

Turn and fall

On broken hands and all

Turn and crawl

Seen that sun gone down

And the waterfall

She stood tall in the fallen rain

Right off an orphan train

She'll run to me again,

I believed,

See how wrong, how wrong you can be.

I know who watches you,

Who watches me ?

I know who hears you,

Who hears me ?

If my eyes blind,

Who'll see

The best in me ?

I hear all the lonely cries

Underneath all these lies

She can't get them by,

Or through me.

See how wrong, wrong you can be.

My honey bee,

Why are you flyin' so far from me ?

She keeps her hands so free

And walks through me,

Straight on through the dead of night

Her face is painted white

By these street lights.

They hold you down so tight

And like hounds they bite.

She fell down in her diamond suit

On lonely avenue, her color's only blue

She won't take clues,

See how wrong, how wrong you can be.

My honey bee

What on earth are you trying to do ?

And where that hero falls, I held on

I always thought I'd see the lights close on me

And the water freeze, surrounding me.

Look how wrong you can be.

My honey bee

Why are you flyin' so far from me ?
