Honey Child


I was stealin' 'neath the moonlight
and her watch dog let me by
when I spied her by the fountain
well it made me want to cry
'neath a golden halo
blue eyes sweet and kind
reachin' through the dayglo
with all the love I'd ever find
honey ain't no sweeter
clover ain't so wild
runnin' by the river
she's my sweeter than honey child

down to five kinds of nothin'
and a whole world slipped through my hands
overstayed my welcome here
but I know she understands

cause honey ain't no sweeter
clover ain't so wild
runnin' by the river
she's my sweeter than honey child
she's my sweeter than honey child

she's higher than the mountains
deeper than the mines
younger than the morning
comin' through the pines

honey ain't no sweeter
clover ain't so wild
runnin' by the river
she's my sweeter than honey child
she's my sweeter than honey child
