honeybee

Seen the shadow on my wall
Turn and fall
On broken hands and all
Turn and crawl
Seen that sun goin' 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 honeybee
Why are you flying so far from me 

She keeps her hands so free
Then 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 trying to be

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 flying so far from me
