There was a time I could keep up with you When you were faithful and your compass true But then an earwig loosened your last screw Now you look at me like someone you once knew You are a comet, when you streak close by The radios get weak And all your teeth glow when you speak Your language shocking, yes, but sweet And now you buzz yourself to sleep You're just a tired honey bee Would you do this thing for me Land softly, yeah Land softly, yeah Land softly These are the photos that I kept That's me crumbling bereft But you're still smiling on my left So its not so serious as that There was a time I would have laughed with you And now you buzz yourself to sleep You're just a tired honey bee Would you do this thing for me Land softly, yeah Land softly, yeah Land softly
