    They got the track list on this album absolutely right. Forests and Sands fades out on a sad whimper and then BAM! Honey in th Sun!

    This is one of those songs where you're having a bad day, and then you start listening to it and all of a sudden your day just got a million times better. I was feeling a bit depressed and then I listened to this song and I felt a lot better!
    Oh the power of music

      this song guts me every damn time i listen to it, but i keep listening to it from time to time saying "THIS time i won't cry." and it's a lie. it's a devastating break up song hidden by a lovely bouncy beat.

    I had a boyfriend tell me he loved me for the 1st time after listening to this CD during a dark, long night traveling in my car after visiting my uncle and aunt in another state. I think he realized I was a catch when he realized I had intelligent taste. He didn't last but this album is still played constantly!

    I like this song...when I was at forever21 this song was playing in the sound system. I shazam'd it with my iPhone to find out who this was....I like'd it so much I purchased it that minute on my iPhone. The things we can do now that we couldn't do b4...so crazy!

    A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you
    And when I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too
    I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
    But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
    Oh, I've been spending half the year in a plane going up and down
    And you've been seeing other people from a nearby town
    Been obsessing and getting depressed about us
    Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff
    I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
    I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
    But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
    When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree
    Was that the very last time you really looked at me
    I'm in training to become as cold as ice
    I'm determined to protect my feelings to disguise
    When I said I didn't love you I told a lie
    Because there is no one above you though I try
    Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name
    Over and over and over and over again
    I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
    I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
    I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
    But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
    The trouble is I got me close to hating me
    And when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see
    Oh, you once made me feel less afraid
    You've got me pouring myself over this page
    I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
    Ooh, I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
    I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
    But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
    I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
    But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you

    Most of the video comes from the fabulous Barrowlands gig from 26 April 2009 and features the wonderful Cairn String Quartet. A gem of a song and should, by rights, be huge!

    There's something to say about a pop song that comes in and goes out in 3 minutes, doesn't overstay its welcome, and it's perfect...
    This 5'41" song could go another 3 minutes and it would still be great

    It's the middle of 2020, the world's on fire, I'm tired and scared and tired of being scared and this beautiful light of a hopeful yet melancholy song gives me strength. It reminds me of the beauty humans are capable of. Thank you lovely people for this precious gift. Your impact is greater than you'll ever know.
