Bees
(Laura Cantrell)
See Fthe Csign of the old hotel, we used to stay there
EmpGty anCd threadbare, water running cold
SearFched Cthe streets for old friends, met only strangers
NonGe who Cremember, none who would take me home
I Emmiss Amthe bees, I miss the honey
I Dmmiss tChem humming by the flowered vine
My Emtime Amis short now, I feel it coming
I’Dmll see Cyou darling in the morning light
SpenFt an Chour in the waiting room of our old headquarters
NonGe brCought my orders I rode on alone
With Fmy pCortrait missing from their hall of honor
No GframCe to claim me in silver black and gold
LEmost in Amthe afternoon missing an hour or two
TDmurn thCe cGrystal set never failed me yet
NEmo voicAme to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried
IDm’ll be cComiGng through on that wavelength a heart can tune
I Emmiss Amthe bees, I miss the honey
I Dmmiss tChem humming by the flowered vine
My Emtime Amis short now, I feel it coming
I’Dmll see Cyou darling in the morning light
NEmo voicAme to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried
IDm’ll be cComiGng through on that wavelength a heart can tune
I Emmiss Amthe bees, I miss the honey
I Dmmiss tChem humming by the flowered vine
My Emtime Amis short now, I feel it coming
I’Dmll see Cyou darling in the morning light
