Single Drop Of Honey

Abigail Washburn


If a single drop of honey 
would bring you to me 
I'd break that sweet rock open 
and hold it out for thee 

she asked him for a penny 
he gave her a dime 
she asked him to stay forever 
he said "all will come in time" 

If a single drop of honey 
would bring you to me 
I'd break that sweet rock open 
and hold it out for thee 

she prayed for him to come back 
he sent a voice true 
she barely heard the words 
he said "I'm not so far from you" 
If a single drop of honey 
would bring you to me 
I break that sweet rock open 
and hold it out for thee 

she grew old holding on 
he called from her afar 
"you desire more than men are able, 
find me in your heart"
