lyrics

Honey, you are honey on my tongue
So much sweeter than the sting ever unsung
Honey, we create it from the flower dust
Whenever flower lust takes wing

Summer soft rolling in
Like thunder in the distance without resistance
Linden heavy on the breeze
An opiate of daydreams

Honey wine’s a sweet gone sour
It changes over time
It happens down the line
Honey, you’re a velvet hour
A sweetness so sublime
A luminary sometime

Drifting on the river of perception
That flows between the moment and reflection
Uplifting to be floating here beside you
Whatever you and I do or say

Summer rain rolling in
With thunder in the distance beyond resistance
Little rivulets are these
Our tributary daydreams

Honey wine’s a sweet gone sour
It changes over time
It happens down the line
Honey, you’re a velvet hour
A sweetness so sublime
A luminary sometime

Barefooting my senses
I have shed all my defenses
Now I’m breathing in

Honey wine’s a sweet gone sour
It changes over time
It happens down the line
Honey, you’re a velvet hour
A sweetness so sublime
A luminary sometime

Honey, you are honey on my tongue
So much sweeter than the sting, my love

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
