Lyrics

Crude cup of tea ©Rick Arnoldi

I?m as bitter as a crude cup of tea
until you stir up the honey in me
I feel just like the ashes when the flame is gone;
but with you I catch the spark and it keeps me warm

But when the honey?s melted and the flame dies too
till there?s only embers, and the tea?s drunk through
What are you to me; what am I to you;
What are we going to do?

We?ve got to take a rest from all this talk;
it snaps off my feelings like a flower stalk
I can see you?ve found your strength and begun to climb;
but as for me, your weakness was what gave me mine

I can see you getting happy, reaching past the sun
and I know I should be growing too, but I?m undone
Can?t seem to share my pain with anyone.
See me through, see me through
(repeat first verse)
