She smiled at me and said goodbye
I didn’t know her her to laugh or cry
Honey’s gone
So I went outside to start the car
She said, ‘I’m fine - it’s not that far’
Now Honey’s gone
Honey’s gone
She left last night
Now all is wrong that once was right
No one to cheer me on
Honey’s gone
We walked together side by side
We talked forever, nothing to hide
Honey’s gone
From politics to Polly Jean
Through thunder storms to fields of green
Honey’s gone
Honey’s gone...
Deep down in her sad brown eyes
Sometimes I’d see a cloudy sky
That built up over fifteen years
But I always thought she’d stay right here
Time stands still and time can fly
No one can tell you how or why
Honey’s gone
Love will come and love will go
But Honey always stole the show
Honey’s gone
Honey’s gone...
Maybe down the track a-way
We’ll meet again on some fine day
We’ll find a table, sit down here
Grab ourselves a beer
But you don’t drink beer
So maybe tequila, or a Shire Squealer
Whatever - I don’t care
Just as long as you’re there
Honey’s gone
