Honey Between My Fingers

Verse 1

Penny jar

Loose and shaking on the dashboard

Thinking of the harbor where we sat before

Rainy day

Washing all the blue away

The radio began to play

A song we both ignore

Verse 2

Green leaves

Hiding every garden gate

Moving through the grass but always much too late

Funny how

Looking at the clouds right now

I see a very crooked brow

Upon your lovely face

Chorus

Late afternoon honey stuck between my fingers

Trying to hold on but the sweetness never lingers

Was it love or just tea for two

The conversation steeped but our flavor never grew

Post-Chorus

Just some honey on my hand

Left across the kitchen land

Sugar spinning in the glass

Watching all the minutes pass

Verse 3

Yellow cat

Sleeping on a woolly rug

Giving every dusty corner one last hug

Walk away

Nothing left for us to say

I think I will go find a tray

To fix another mug

Chorus

Late afternoon honey stuck between my fingers

Trying to hold on but the sweetness never lingers

Was it love or just tea for two

The conversation steeped but our flavor never grew

Post-Chorus

Just some honey on my hand

Left across the kitchen land

Sugar spinning in the glass

Watching all the minutes pass

Bridge

I saw the man behind the wall

He didn't seem to care at all

About the way the seasons fall

Or why you didn't call

Verse 4

Empty box

Sitting in the hallway light

Wondering if you will stay the night

Funny girl

Looking for a shiny pearl

Lost within a different world

And out of my own sight

Chorus

Late afternoon honey stuck between my fingers

Trying to hold on but the sweetness never lingers

Was it love or just tea for two

The conversation steeped but our flavor never grew

Post-Chorus

Just some honey on my hand

Left across the kitchen land

Sugar spinning in the glass

Watching all the minutes pass

Outro

The sweetness never lingers here

Watching as you disappear

Late afternoon has gone away

Nothing left for us to say
