Honey
Jane And Jilly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you have yours I have mine
today mine happens to be about a...
a yellow dress
and behind the yellow dress
lies a warm and beating heart
that longs to tell a story
of which we are all a part
oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee
the honey bee
it has taken me so long to get up to speed
a looooonnnggggg winter
but the sun is slowly warming me
and ssssooo here I go towards the garden of love
oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee
the garden of love I can see it now
I am meandering as fast as I can
want to sip the nectar
I am making my way back to where I belong
oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee
and when I lay me down to sleep
in my flowery keep
the moon upon my face
I dream of bowls of milk
sailin' towards a sea of
roses
