Tell it to the Bees

from Is That You? by Lewis Mullen

/

about

The bees are wise. The bees are important. If you have news, or if you have worries, take your tale and tell it to the bees. This is probably the folkiest song on the album

lyrics

Little knock at my front door
Think that we’ve been here before
I’ll brew some tea to pour

Out it comes all in a rush
Broken glass upon the hush
Best advice that I can push
Take your tale and tell it to the bees

Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees and they will listen
Tell it to the bees
Down on bended knees
And soon you’ll figure out
there’s nothin’ missin’

Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees and they will listen
Tell it to the bees
Down on bended knees
And soon you’ll figure out
There’s nothin’ missin’

Once upon a time you laughed
All the elders called you daft
Now your sighs will cause a draft

Sip your tea and take your time
Honey makes it taste sublime
And when noon has come to chime
Take your tale and tell it to the bees

Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees
Tell it to the bees and they will listen
Tell it to the bees
Down on bended knees
And soon you’ll figure out
there’s nothin’ missin’
Tell it to the bees
Down on bended knees
And soon you’ll figure out
there’s nothin’ missin’

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
