Honey
- July 25th 2010

Honey I had heard and seen you many times,
But you caught me off guard when we met.
Your delicate dandelion beauty,
Your faint quiet smile.

Honey, you’re about as sweet as they come.
Forget about that mansion on the hill,
Let’s go out and have some fun.
And all of those places, you’ve yet to see.
And all of those people, you’ve yet to be.

I wished to hold you in my arms,
I wished to taste your fine nectar.
But all I could do was stand there,
All I could do was imagine him holding you in his arms.

Honey, you’re about as sweet as they come.
Forget about that mansion on the hill,
Let’s go out and have some fun.
And all of those places, you’ve yet to see.
And all of those people, you’ve yet to be.

Some of your most famous moments emitted from his bedroom,
Tales of bonds of blood and found love.
From you he told of pure emotion,
From you came undeniable magic.

Honey, you’re about as sweet as they come.
Forget about that mansion on the hill,
Let’s go out and have some fun.
And all of those places, you’ve yet to see.
And all of those people, you’ve yet to be.

Today housed in your tower, I could feel it,
Unassuming almost anonymous, almost.
After you, I saw the ghost of Johnny Cash,
Peaceful in his home away from home.

Honey, you’re about as sweet as they come.
Forget about that mansion on the hill,
Let’s go out and have some fun.
And all of those places, you’ve yet to see.
And all of those people, you’ve yet to be.

I wished to hold you in my arms…
