Lyrics

Beekeeper

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the middle of everything, I started to see

You said you were a beekeeper, but I heard no bees

I asked you where do you get your honey

You said darling I'm a beekeeper, I'm up to my knees

Oh I'm a lonely sailor on a sinking boat

Sometimes I think I'm a mermaid but I never float

You asked me why I didn't send you a note

I threw my pen in the gutter with what I wrote

Oh, oh, just like a dove on a bay riverside with a little black crow

Wanna know all of the ribs on your cage

Tell you that a part of me lives in you, and I'm a goddamn fool

Make your move or get out of the game

At the end of the tunnel I can see the light

I promised you I wouldn't go down without a fight

I know it won't always be black and white

'Cause there are demons and things that go bump in the night

So swallow your bitter pill

You said you were a thrill seeker but what's your thrill?

It's the way you walk, it's the way you stand still

And the way that you look at me and always will

Hey, today's the day, are you ready to fall, are you ready to jump

From a plane with a stranger on your back

High in the sky, you look back and where am I at - I'm a man in disguise

Tongue-tied, you started to crack

Started to crack and the sky's turning black

And I'm stuck in you like a thumbtack

Between my legs and my arms you're alarmed

And I won't hurt you - just want to charm you

Wanna be there, and I wanna be there

I won't let you go

A beekeeper through a seeker

Hit the ground running: Told you so
