"Box Full O' Honey" lyrics

"Box Full O' Honey"

At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
And all good sense dare tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm trembling on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the murmur

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
My life's penitence for what?
What's so funny
A box full of honey

What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A-scratching at the hurt
But I so generously did leave you

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
Some cruel penitence for what?
What's so funny
A box full of honey

Is she flirting with me now (Oooh)
Is she dallying with me now (Oooh)
Are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my queen of tumble down
Miss Melancholy

Are you laughing at me now
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence for what?

What's so funny
Ain't it funny?
A box full of honey
