lyrics
THE HORNETS NEST
'I kicked the hornet's nest, and (the bees they) stung me to death
'And you played with fire, but you were saved by the water
'And we’ve walked side by side, since you were seven and I was nine
'But the winds have always blown, different for us both
(Chorus)
'And we live side by side, and your field is green and alive, while mine just withers and dies, something’s' not right
'But you have no words, to explain this mystery that we have fallen into, oh and few make it through
'So I guess we (just) keep pressing on, until someone wins the race, who gets the better deal, who gets the bitter end
'It's you my friend, for whom the stars seem aligned, but I guess I get what I deserve, for being bitter envious, I get the dirt
‘My canoe went over, over the waterfall
‘And your (only) scratched and bemired, (from getting) lost in the thistle and the brier
‘You’ve always offered your hand, to me in the sinking sand
‘But I’m afraid we must depart, I’ll go left and you go right
‘
