Honey on the Windowsill

by Max Solano

“A jar of honey catching the sun, and my first proper steps toward soul. It was a quiet song in a loud year.”

Lyrics

A jar of honey on the windowsill
Catching the sun, holding it still
Golden as the first light on the floor
Slow drip, slow drip, who could ask for more

Spoon in the toast and the tea is hot
Morning's sweet, whether I want it or not

Honey on the windowsill, shining bright
Sweetness spilling in the morning light
Honey on the windowsill, take your time
Everything is golden, everything is fine
Oh, sweet morning, honey on the sill
Oh, sweet morning, honey on the sill

Bees in the basil on the balcony rail
Humming a tune like a tiny sunlit tale
I stir a little gold in my cup of tea
The whole wide world is sweet to me

Spoon in the toast and the tea is hot
Morning's sweet, whether I want it or not

Honey on the windowsill, shining bright
Sweetness spilling in the morning light
Honey on the windowsill, take your time
Everything is golden, everything is fine
Oh, sweet morning, honey on the sill
Oh, sweet morning, honey on the sill

Share a little sweetness, pass the jar
Knock on the neighbour's door, near or far
A spoonful of gold makes a good day start
Sunshine's a gift from heart to heart

Honey on the windowsill, shining bright
Sweetness spilling in the morning light
Honey on the windowsill, take your time
Everything is golden, everything is fine
Oh, sweet morning, honey on the sill
Honey on the windowsill
