The Golden Journal

[Intro]
[Verse]
Found it by the stove
In the quiet grove
Pages thin and gold
Secrets to behold
Handwriting was small
Shadows on the wall
Smelling like the pine
Everything is fine
[Pre-Chorus]
The orchard starts to wake
For our family’s sake
I put on the white suit
Gathering the fruit
Lavender is tall
Waiting for the fall
[Chorus]
Golden honey in the jar
Love is never far
Dripping from the comb
Welcoming me home
I can feel her hand
Working on the land
Sweetness through the years
Drying all my tears
[Post-Chorus]
Honey on the bread
Words she never said
Sweetness in the air
Knowing she is there
[Verse]
Notes on every queen
Places she had been
July was far too dry
Underneath the sky
She knew every wing
How to heal the sting
Clover in the field
Everything we yield
[Chorus]
Golden honey in the jar
Love is never far
Dripping from the comb
Welcoming me home
I can feel her hand
Working on the land
Sweetness through the years
Drying all my tears
[Bridge]
Bees are humming low
Watching flowers grow
Time is just a thread
Resting in my head
The harmonium plays
Through the summer haze
Sting is part of love
Sunlight from above
[Chorus]
Golden honey in the jar
Love is never far
Dripping from the comb
Welcoming me home
I can feel her hand
Working on the land
Sweetness through the years
Drying all my tears
[Post-Chorus]
Honey on the bread
Words she never said
Sweetness in the air
Knowing she is there
[Outro]
