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

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
