Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Honey Bee Lyrics

Jane Siberry

everyone has their own story
you have yours I have mine
today mine happens to be about a...
a yellow dress
and behind the yellow dress
lies a warm and beating heart
that longs to tell a story
of which we are all a part

oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee

the honey bee
it has taken me so long to get up to speed
a looooonnnggggg winter
but the sun is slowly warming me
and ssssooo here I go towards the garden of love

oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee

the garden of love I can see it now
I am meandering as fast as I can
want to sip the nectar
I am making my way back to where I belong

oh oh oh I love these things
so these things shall I bee

and when I lay me down to sleep
in my flowery keep
the moon upon my face
I dream of bowls of milk

sailin' towards a sea of
roses
