The Bees

Album: Call Me Crazy (2008)

  • I've been looking for a sweeter side
    Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
    Looking for a better way of life
    Somewhere that I can call home

    Spent my time at a peach stand
    Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan
    Like the back of my daddy's hand
    The only thing I've ever known

    [Chorus]
    I can hear the bees buzzin' through the walls
    Making their honey and singing their song
    They say I work for the queen all day
    Yeah, I work for the queen all day

    Sometimes it's a bitter taste
    For a motherless child so out of place
    I never understood why she ran away
    Maybe I'll never know

    But there's a light shinin' through the trees
    And a restless hum that's calling me
    I could almost be carried by the breeze
    And let it take me where it goes

    [Chorus]

    Now I'm standing on the front porch
    Kettle whistling through the screen door
    Little footsteps on the kitchen floor
    Pretty soon we're gonna eat

    Some things come right away
    Some seem to take forever and a day
    All I know is that it worked out either way
    I think I found a family

    [Chorus: x2] Writer/s: DANIEL KEYES TASHIAN, NATALIE NICOLE HEMBY
