Playing "Honey" in the before times. It's been six months since I celebrated the release of The Department of the West on a fun night @amados998 Amado's. Playing with a band seems like a lifetime ago.
“Honey"
https://deborahcrooks.bandcamp.com/track/honey
Dreaming of bees, honey on the comb the way they swarmed and flew on their way to a new home
One big whir, queen and drone, making honey
Fill up the Folgers cans, under skies bright and sunny
Trading fruit no exchange of money
Grapes on the vine, meant for white wine
Apples, pear tree, so much honey
Then the neighbors came apart and filed for divorce
Built a big road and buried their horse
Put up that long fence across from the pond and field of clover
One day you come home, find its all over
Stolen honey, no longer true
Stolen honey, can happen to you
Some things are sweet, but you don't really know it
Until what was once plenty is no more
The world turns and turns, the planets they line up
We rise at dawn, pour coffee into a favorite cup
Hoping for honey, hoping for honey, hoping for something sweet
