But Honey, Such Sweet Lies That We Both Told
But Honey, Such Sweet Lies That We Both Told
It was a meandering dirty road,
Ah but honey- such sweet lies that were told
About the gold castle upon the hill
And how love always gives sensual thrills
Nary a word about hideous beast
Hiding, awaiting its promised feast
But such you knew, covered with a smile
Hiding so well, your venom and dark guile.
I hear sad tales of your sorrowing woes.
That do not mention your grievous struck blows.
I see, youthful lad with an eager heart
On that winding road, with its cool start
Sailing on seas of romantic delights
Long before the dark truth- endless fights
O' yes, your beauty such a stunning gift
And those ravenous nights - sexual gifts
Even in that dark- pleasures abundant
Do I cry more, such being redundant?
I hear sad tales of your sorrowing woes.
That do not mention your grievous struck blows.
Life in its blazing glory, onward flows
Into that mysterious cloud it goes
You, once a goddess so far out of reach
Before dark world sat us down, both to teach.
R.J. Lindley, first composed in 1979,
