Fiona Apple - Slow Like Honey

You moved like honey

In my dream last night

Yeah, some old fires

Were burning

You came near to me

And you endeared to me

But you couldn't

Quite discern me

Does that scare you?

I'll let you run away

But your heart

Will not oblige you

You'll remember me

Like a melody

Yeah, I'll haunt the

World inside you



And my big secret

Gonna win you over

Slow like honey

Heavy with mood



I'll let you see me

I'll covet your regard

I'll invade your demeanor

And you'll yield to me

Like a scent in the breeze

And you'll wonder

What it is about me



It's my big secret

Keeping you coming

Slow like honey

Heavy with mood



Though dreams

Can be deceiving

Like faces are to hearts

They serve for

Sweet relieving

When fantasy and reality

Lie too far apart



So I stretch myself across

Like a bridge

And I pull you to the edge

And stand there waiting

Trying to attain

The end to satisfy the story

Shall I release you?

Must I release you?

As I rise to meet my glory



But my big secret

Gonna hover over your life

Gonna keep you reaching

When I'm gone like yesterday

When I'm high like heaven

When I'm strong like music

'Cause I'm slow like honey, and

Heavy with mood
