box full o' honey lyrics

At the sharp end of the view, the edge of me and you
And all good sense had tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees, how I'm tremblin' on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the murmur

Are you laughin' 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 scratchin' at the hurt
But I so generously did leave you

Are you laughin' at me now?
In my circumstance when still I wear your crown
Some cruel penitence, for what?
What's so funny? 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 tumble down, Miss Melancholy

Are you laughin' 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
