Honeybee - The Wallflowers

Seen the shadow on my wall

Turn and fall

On broken hands and all

Turn and crawl

Seen that sun gone down

And 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

But 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 honeybee

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

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 honeybee

What on earth are you tryin' to be?

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 honeybee

Why are you flyin' so far from me?
