Honeylight - Alan Erickson

There's nothing to it You just exist Then you die I'm under no illusion That things get better But I'II try 'Cause you know it goes down like honey (honey) So open wide, open wide You don't have to say you're sorry (sorry) You only tried, you only tried It comes in waves, it's red like rust And in the stream you see the dust I would like to bathe in honey (honey) In honey light, in honey light And I would like to take my last breath As my feet touch the edge of the light I will wander into the darkness Humming a song that I kinda like 'Cause you know it goes down like honey (honey) So open wide, open wide You don't have to say you're sorry (sorry) You only tried, you only tried It comes in waves, it's red like rust And in the stream you see the dust I would like to bathe in honey (honey) In honey light, in honey light Oh, bathe in honey light Bathe in honey light 'Cause you know it goes down like honey (honey) So open wide, open wide You don't have to say you're sorry (sorry) You only tried, you only tried It comes in waves, it's red like rust And in the stream you see the dust I would like to bathe in honey (honey) In honey light You know it goes down like honey You don't have to say you're sorry It comes in waves, it's red like rust And in the stream you see the dust I would like to bathe in honey In honey light In honey light, in honey light In honey light, in honey light In honey light, in honey light

All my life There you go Oh, please stay Just this once Anyway All my life There they go Oh, please stay For the night Anyway All my life There you go Oh, please stay Just this once Anyway All my life There they go Oh, please stay For the night Anyway

Front porch swing I watched the sunset Be covered by clouds Building in the southwest I heard the rumble As it light up the sky Silence came Silence went I heard the roar as it tore through town Whoa hell came down 15 square miles in less than an hour Ugly scars, shattered hearts 26 here and gone When the devil, came down to play Morning comes, I realize monsters don't come from beneath they come from the sky I close my eyes cry out to God you can wake me up any damn time you please Whoa hell came down 15 square miles in less than an hour Ugly scars, shattered hearts 26 here and gone When the devil, came down to play I lost three in 1970, the 11th of May when the devil came down to play Whoa hell came down 15 square miles in less than an hour Ugly scars, shattered hearts 26 here and gone When the devil, came down to play Whoa hell came down 15 square miles in less than an hour Ugly scars, shattered hearts 26 here and gone When the devil, came down to play I realize monsters don't come from beneath they come from the sky
