Story Behind The Song
A song written in the mountains on a journey with a blue eyed goddess. A parting of ways at the end of the journey - there never can be an Emperor bee!
Song Description
The mountainside aflame
with Rhododendrons in bloom
A Queen with eyes as blue as the lake
The drone seeks the flower
But knows there can never
An Emperor bee !

Lyrics
HEY HO
I HAVE NO CHOICE
I REALLY MUST GO
I HEAR A VOICE
A QUEEN
RHODODENDRON QUEEN
HER EYES ARE THE STARLIGHT
HER ARMS ARE MY TWILIGHT
HER LULLABY WILL ROCK ME TO SLEEP
HELLO
NOW WHO COULD THIS BE ?
I HEAR A DRONE
A HONEY BEE
TONIGHT---
HE?LL REALIZE THE POWER
HE DRANK FROM THE FLOWER
CROWNED HIM THE EMPEROR BEE.
