The Box of Bees by Chris Robson
[Intro]
[verse]
It s ok I ve got my box of bees,
And if I look closely I see them smiling at me.
But I can see right through their black and yellow veils,
Cos just like you they ve got a sting in their tales.
But if I look into the dark side of my mind,
I can see some of the bad things you might find,
I bet your closet s got a scary bone or two,
That never stopped me loving you
[verse]
I m ok I ve got my box of bees,
I gave them names and their own histories.
Each one reminds me of a place we used to go,
Don t think you ll understand, don t think you ll ever know.
But if I ruled the world and took you back in time,
I d find a box for you and you would still be mine,
And when we re feeling lonely we could look inside,
The box of bees you helped me find
[refrain]
But now I see you leaving, and I m not feeling very kind,
All the things I believe in, come to the forefront of my mind.
[verse]
It s ok I ve got my box of bees,
And I don t care what people think of me.
Cos in my darkest hour they make me feel alright,
I think I ll look at them tonight.
But now you ve taken all the things we used to share,
I look around to find that it s cold and dark and bare,
And then my eyes fix on the box beside the bed,
And I think of them instead
It s ok, I ve got my box of bees.
