Single Drop Of Honey

by Abigail Washburn

on Song of the Traveling Daughter (2005)

If a single drop of honey
would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
and hold it out for thee

she asked him for a penny
he gave her a dime
she asked him to stay forever
he said "all will come in time"

If a single drop of honey
would bring you to me
I'd break that sweet rock open
and hold it out for thee

she prayed for him to come back
he sent a voice true
she barely heard the words
he said "I'm not so far from you"
If a single drop of honey
would bring you to me
I break that sweet rock open
and hold it out for thee

she grew old holding on
he called from her afar
"you desire more than men are able,
find me in your heart"
