Queen Bee
Johnny Flynn Lyrics

Though my heart has long been given to you
Summer′s turn is nigh
Swifts and swallows swoop and yearn for you
With all that's in the sky

All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee

Autumn′s flourish fruit that falls for you
Apples sweet as death
All that falls has lived and died for you
Gently come to rest
But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee

Winter's kiss has some enthralled
So they keep their fires bright
But my breast is lit with flames to shun
The dying of the light
Oh blow the wind and come the rain and take my heart again

All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee

I'll speak love′s truth with oak and ash for you
Sing through April′s tears
I will weave the body flowers of spring for you
I will walk for years

Oh blow the wind and come the rain and take my heart again
Yes blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

All is for my mistress all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee

The song "Queen Bee" by Johnny Flynn is a tribute to a woman who holds a special place in the singer's heart. The title refers to the woman as his queen bee, and the lyrics describe the different seasons of the year, symbolizing the different stages of their relationship. The chorus, "All is for my mistress, all is for my maid, sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me, my queen bee," emphasizes the singer's devotion to this woman, portraying her in both an authoritative (mistress) and endearing (my queen bee) light.

As the seasons change and the year progresses, the lyrics suggest that the singer's love for this woman only grows stronger. The line, "Summer's turn is nigh, swifts and swallows swoop and yearn for you, with all that's in the sky," depicts the singer's admiration for the woman and his willingness to wait patiently for her. The autumn imagery in the following verse describes the singer's acceptance of the transience of life and the beauty in the fleeting moments that they share together. Finally, the singer declares his everlasting love in the final verse, promising to stand by this woman's side and celebrate their union through the seasons.

All is for my mistress all is for my maid
I dedicate everything in my life to my lover, who is both my mistress and my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
The love and affection that I'm receiving from my mistress is nothing but the sweetness that I had kindled in myself for her

My queen bee
My beloved and affectionate mistress, who is the center of my Universe, is representative of a queen bee

Though my heart has long been given to you
My heart has been dedicated to my mistress for a long time, and my love for her is unaltered

Summer′s turn is nigh
The end of summer is approaching, and with it comes a change in seasons

Swifts and swallows swoop and yearn for you
The birds in the sky are mesmerized by my mistress's beauty and yearn for her

With all that's in the sky
Every beautiful thing in the sky, from the mesmerizing sunset to the shining stars, remind me of my beloved mistress

But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
Despite the changing weather and circumstance, my love for my mistress remains steadfast

Autumn′s flourish fruit that falls for you
Autumn brings with it an abundance of fruit that falls for my mistress to enjoy

Apples sweet as death
The fruit and autumn's harvest, like apples, represent both life and death, and my love for my mistress encompasses both

All that falls has lived and died for you
Everything that falls, from the leaves of the trees to the falling fruit, is done so to honor and symbolize my love for my mistress

Gently come to rest
All things in the world come to rest in honor of my mistress

Winter's kiss has some enthralled
Winter's harsh weather may have caused some to find solace and warmth near their fires

So they keep their fires bright
People burn brightly, much like their fires, during the winter months to keep themselves alive and happy

But my breast is lit with flames to shun
Despite the cold and darkness of winter, my love for my mistress keeps me warm and thriving

The dying of the light
I will not let the darkness engulf me, nor will I let the fire of my love for my mistress burn out, even at the end of life's journey

I'll speak love′s truth with oak and ash for you
With trees such as oak and ash, which are permanent and unbreakable, I will speak only the truth of my eternal love for my mistress

Sing through April′s tears
I will sing through the month of April, which may bring tears from the rain, to profess my love for my mistress

I will weave the body flowers of spring for you
I will create spring flowers for my mistress with my own hands, showing her how much I'm devoted to her

I will walk for years
I will spend my days walking alongside my mistress, even if it means walking for years, because my love for her is everlasting

Yes blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
I beckon the winds and rain to come and fulfill their destiny, as they represent my love for my mistress and all its eternal glory
