Mountain Woman Music: Honey In The Sun

a half a moon in mexico city, I think of you

when I saw the southern cross I wished you had too.

I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew

but it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you.

I've been spending half the year in a plane going up and down,

you've been seeing other other people from a nearby town

been obsessing and getting depressed about us

excess baggage and other stupid band stuff.

I wish my heart was cold

but it's warmer than before

I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew

but it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you.

when you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree,

was that the very last time you really looked at me?

I'm in training to become as cold as ice,

I'm determined to protect my feelings, to disguise

when I said I didn't love you I told you a lie,

there's no one above you, although I try

would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name...

over and over and over and over again?

I wish my heart was cold

but it's warmer than before

I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew

but it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you.

the trouble is got me close to hating me,

and when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see

where you once made me feel less afraid,

you've got me pouring myself all over this page.
