Verse 1
C
Honey, comb your hair
Bm
As it catches the sun
Gm
I don’t need your fuss or flesh
Gm
Tempting as you know it is
C Bm
Tight are the reins, that are soaking you through
Gm
I don’t fear the reeds
Gm
More, it’s the lies you thread my needle with
Chorus
Gm G7
And your calf is sold and your honey crushed
Gm C
You were up all night.
Gm G7
And the orange tree, that you tend for me
Gm C
I was up all night.
Verse 2
C
Honey, cursed are your words
Bm
That are leaving your mouth
Gm
They used to float, those paragraphs
Gm
Now they fall like paving slabs
C
Dry cured or love sick
Bm
It's hard to depict
Gm
You’d have to cross the universe
Gm
To find something you’re happy with
Chorus
Gm G7
And your calf is sold and your honey crushed
Gm C
You were up all night.
Gm G7
I’m a nectarine on an orange tree
Gm
But you tend to me
C
I was up all night
C Bm Gm Gm
