Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
[Verse 2]
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey
[Verse 3]
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
[Verse 4]
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
[Verse 5]
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
[Verse 6]
I'm still standing
I'm still standing where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
[Verse 7]
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all?
[Verse 8]
If you go, then go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please?
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
