Beekeeper Lyrics by Aoife O’Donovan

Fossils

0

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 some 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 to 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, I wanna be there
I won't let you go
A beekeeper, a thrill seeker
Hit the ground running
Told you so
