Bees

See the sign of the old hotel, we used to stay there
 Empty and threadbare, water running cold
 Searched the streets for old friends, met only strangers
 None who remember, none who would take me home
 I miss the bees, I miss the honey
 I miss them humming by the flowered vine
 My time is short now, I feel it coming
 I'll see you darling in the morning light
 Spent an hour in the waiting room of our old headquarters
 None brought my orders I rode on alone
 With my portrait missing from their hall of honor
 No frame to claim me in silver black and gold
 Lost in the afternoon missing an hour or two
 Turn the crystal set never failed me yet
 No voice to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried
 I'll be coming through on that wavelength a heart can tune
 I miss the bees, I miss the honey
 I miss them humming by the flowered vine
 My time is short now, I feel it coming
 I'll see you darling in the morning light
 No voice to say goodbye, tears on my face have dried
 I'll be coming through on that wavelength a heart can tune
 I miss the bees I miss the honey
 I miss them humming by the flowered vine
 My time is short now, I feel it coming
 I'll see you darling on the other side
