At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
In all good sense dare tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I’m trembling on my knees
But I’m still drawn on by the murmur
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
My life's penitence for what?
What's so funny?
A box full o'honey
What, I thought, a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A-scratching at the hurt
That I so generously did leave you
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
Some cruel penitence for what?
What's so funny?
A box full o'honey
Is she flirting with me now?
Ooh, is she dallying with me now?
Ooh, are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my
Queen of tumbledown
Miss melancholy
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence for what?
What's so funny?
Ain't it funny
A box full o'honey
