Milk & Honey from Lainhart by Senora May

There’s a dip in the bed where you used to lay,
I’m whole no more since you went away,
half of me left with you,
the other half is strugglin’ by,
but I can wait baby til the world unwinds,
roll the credits, let ‘em wait in line,
I can bite my tongue til I’m tasting yours in time,
come to the farm, I’ll take you in,
come let me give you good lovin’,
come on boy, let me show you what you been missing,
come up the hill I’ll take you in,
come make a life worth livin’,
share the load, I’ll share these luxuries,
of milk and honey (X3), for my honey

Well I set the traps but I caught no fur,
fed the plots but I killed no food,
out of tune with her if I ain’t got you,
now the boat is empty while I check our lines,
floatin’ down the river, will I drown in shine
tryin’ to wash your missing from my mind?
I reckon I can wait till the sky unfolds,
a hand comes through to carry me home,
heaven forbid you don’t come home first,
come to the farm I’ll take you in,
come let me give you good lovin’,
come on home let me show you what you been missing,
come up the hill I’ll take you in,
come make a life worth livin’,
share the load, I’ll share these luxuries,
of milk and honey (X3), for my honey

Well I reached my hands through the dark for you,
only a dream but it’s coming’ true soon,
half of me left with you, I can feel it closer now,
so I opened up the gate and I left it wide,
spread like the wings of my heart in flight,
ridin’ the wind to Kentucky with you tonight,
come to the farm, I’ll take you in,
come let me give you good loving’,
come on boy, let me show you what you been missing,
come up the hill I’ll take you in,
come make a life worth livin’,
share the load, I’ll share these luxuries,
of milk and honey (X3), for my honey
