Jon Boden - Bee Sting Lyrics

The pageant parade

Is pulling me away

Out into the dark streets

Where the shadows play

I can still see you moving through the chaos unimpaired

But I am still caught up in the moment that we almost shared


But now I am carried by the the swirling crowd

Like flotsam in the stream

The touch of your hand it lingers on my skin

Like the sting of a honey bee



But the night has just begun

Nothing ventured nothing gained

Now that I’ve seen you once I know I’ll see you again


Your eyes were like diamonds

In the celestial crown

Turned Sapphire in the afterglow

Of a star burst raining down


I saw you laughing in the carnival with all your friends

I know this kind of hunger is the kind that never ends


But now I am carried by the the swirling crowd

Like flotsam in the stream

The touch of your hand it lingers on my skin

Like the sting of a honey bee


But the night has just begun

This is what it’s all for

Now that I’ve seen you once I know I’ll see you once more



Yes the night has just begun

The fuse lit by a spark

And now that I’ve found you in the afterglow

I know I can find you in the dark
