Caroline Jones - Milk & honey

I have both milk & honey
& Nothing left to lose
Good, but not together
Which man should I choose?

Milk is pure & clean & white
But too cloudy to see through
Honey’s thick & sticky
But clear & always true

Yes, it’s hard to handle
But it won’t slip through your hands
Milk’s the easy choice but honey makes the better man

So leave the milk with Cleopatra
In her bath of white
& I’ll hold honey in my hands
For everlasting time

For in the end the sweeter taste
Makes for more content
& Anything that spoils
Cannot last until the end

Honey’s hard to handle
But it won’t slip through your hands
Milk’s the easy choice but honey makes the better man
Honey makes the better man
