In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all?
Oh oh oh
If you go there go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all?
Oh oh oh
If you go there go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

This song uses the origins of humanity to explore the human awareness of God, including the idea that our modern 'tameness' may not be exactly what God would want for us, echoing C.S. Lewis' view that God [Aslan] is not a tame lion, but he is good. Good, but not tame, is the key to this song, and awakens that within us which is good, but desires to not be so tamed. This part of us may be the part that is the most aware of God.
Understanding the beauty of nature is understanding our sense of the connection we have with all of life. Life, and how it has evolved on Earth, is the most beautiful dance God could have ever shown us. Wild honey.
"Are you still growing wild with everything tame around you?" feels like they're kinda' growing up and he's wondering if she's still the same free-spirit she used to be. If she held onto that. And if she does, if she goes there, he wants a taste of it, too.
this song is so full of passion that it over whelms you.
it's a special song to me. it has a sort of tranquil effect, and yet it is so powerful!
i love this song it's my favorite - and i guess i don't listen to it right but i don't think... mabey it is...about sex? help me!
and freezegelman so right in a little while is good to.
i hate how people over look the real meaning to the songs and just go for rap and hevey metal and shit...and am i aloud to swear?
i can't beleive that people don't like this song the really should listen to 'all that you can't leave behind'. and learn to appreciate the slower songs
ok...well wateva.
