Paroles de Elizabeth The Bumblebee

Elizabeth the bumblebee keeps flying round and stinging me Left poison in my fingers long ago And lonesome in the summer night she tried to get me one more time Left stinger in my body before she died And every night that buzzing fills my ears till morning light And how I’ve saved that bitter pain as if it was today Elizabeth you’re just like me come back to life come set me free We’ll drink the nectar, spark like fireflies And teach me every flower known to this foreign land you call your home I’ll give you shelter if it gets too cold But oh, I know your paper wings were frozen long ago And fallen here, my swollen hands and eyes all filled with tears I had another dream last night, a bumblebee came flying by Black and yellow shape caught on the breeze And as I turned expecting you to whisper, “how I looked for you!” I only saw an ordinary fly For the world’s gone gray and all that’s left are flies around decay And all I see: Are golden fields that’ll never be And love you spent and lost on me Your final words still stingin’ me Wring honey from my heart so bittersweet
