LYRICS -
If I write of flowers
Hours turn my pen
yellow black golden hours
rich in pollen sent
A cardboard swaying feathered tower round fuji mountain, bends
Sun is our friend
hurt with hope is better than return to hive of discontent
Don’t be nervous, don’t flee back to her with the many leave your queen a red rose my arms they never close. Don’t be nervous, don’t flee back to her, you’re in me now my arms a deep, take sip
My honey honey -
Bee
Now you said no
I throw petals in your wake Run ring round you in heather I’m not happy, it’s fake Heart aching summer showers that write away your love
Sun is our friend
hurt with hope is better
than return to cloud of discontent
Don’t be nervous, don’t flee back to her with the many leave your queen a red rose my arms they never close. Don’t be nervous, don’t flee back to her, you’re in me now my arms a deep, take sip
My honey honey -
Bee
