lyrics

HONEY UPSIDE DOWN

I’ll learn to turn the honey upside down
Things that sweet, they take more time and
I can’t have this now
So, walk away from it, tell myself
That it wouldn’t have been ready anyhow
Things that sweet, they take more time
To work out.

My neighbor Bertha said
When she borrowed a sponge
“Sometimes what’s good needs to
Sit and get ripe like a plum.
So, walk away from whatever you can’t change
It needs to grow with no help from you, hon’.
Things that good need to
Sit and get ripe like a plum.”

Walk away from whatever you can’t change
It needs to grow with no help from you, hon’.
Things that good need to
Sit and get ripe like a plum.

Walk away from it, tell myself
That it wouldn’t have been ready anyhow
Things that sweet, they take more time and
I can’t have this now
Things that sweet, they take more time
To work out.

I’ll have to turn the honey upside down.
