/ G - CD G / Am - C D / G - C G / Am - D - /
 
Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Mielfée — some honey for your tea?
My people say this honey can set fettered spirits free
And I see your soul's in fetters, that you've forged from your own hurt
So let's sip some tea and talk over dessert
 
/ " / " / " / Am D G - /
 
Grief gives way to healing, but healing takes its time
Your husband died to break a curse on both his kin and mine
I understand that knowing that won't take away the pain
But please believe he didn't die in vain
 
Your daughter has a cousin; I think they could be friends
He's owned up to his family's past, and agreed to make amends
In doing so, he's lost his home — that payment was past due
This farm has room — might he move in with you?
 
I know I've said a lot of words; I needed you to hear
But I came to bring this honey, and to be a listening ear
So open up your heart to me, and tell me how you feel
Then show your daughter that your love is real
