Honey On The Tongue

(album: Islands - 2022)

Easy for some, but love's a discipline for me
The mercury's high, resolve is weak today
Come home, come home, don't dance too long
Should be home, I know by now
Round and around it goes but I keep the volume down

Like honey on the tongue, it slips away
And slowly so do I
Now I do drink, don't dream, don't lie
I exercise and get to sleep on time
No longer need that constant rhyme
Like honey on the tongue
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore

Down by the glades, you laid it on the line for me
I was looking for change so I followed willingly
Too long, too long, I've lead you on
Should've set you free by now
But your love came so easily that I kept the volume down

Like honey on the tongue, it slips away
And slowly so do I
Now I do drink, don't dream, don't lie
I exercise and get to sleep on time
No longer need that constant rhyme
Like honey on the tongue
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore

This is a write off, I know it seems cruel
I've been a liar, but you've been a fool
This is a write off, I know it seems cruel
I've been a liar, but you've been a fool
Fool
Fool
Come home, come home, don't dance too long
Should be home, I know by now
