At the funeral
a flower got up
to say a few words–
the world intoxicated him
flight and colour
the tools he used
to shape the natural order
flight and colour
the tools he used
to shape the natural order
he was not alone
the humming will go on
pause a moment
we hear it buzz
with intelligence
and sympathy
for everything that
might seem different
that was the toil
honey was his gift
fallen to earth nearby
rest in peace
pause a moment
we hear it buzz
with intelligence
and sympathy
for everything that
might seem different

honey was his gift
fallen to earth nearby
rest in peace
do you really think it was a bloke?
