I want a beehive for my tombstone
No formaldehyde for me
Just sprinkle seeds of clover
I’ll be breakfast for the bee.
For I’ve lived my life in cycles
And this is just one more
I’ll be waiting for the morning to arrive.
And the bee will take me round the bend
And then she will return
Collecting her nectar for the hive
I want a beehive for my tombstone
No formaldehyde for me
Just sprinkle seeds of clover
I’ll be breakfast for the bee.
Now only cry a little
And only for the beauty
For the clover will make seeds of her own.
And the bee will keep the cycle
And the sun will rise again
And someone may remember my song
I want a beehive for my tombstone
No formaldehyde for me
Just sprinkle seeds of clover
I’ll be breakfast for the bee.
For I’ve lived my life in cycles
And this is just one more
I’ll be waiting for the morning to arrive.
And the bee will take me round the bend
And then she will return
Sipping sweet honey from the hive
I want a beehive for my tombstone
No formaldehyde for me
Just sprinkle seeds of clover
I’ll be breakfast for the bee.
I want a beehive for my tombstone
No formaldehyde for me
Just sprinkle seeds of clover
I’ll be breakfast for the bee.
