Down with the flu last few days...watched that Eagles doc from a few years back.
Man, Glen Frey comes off as a self-consumed prick, may he RIP. 

I think there is a school of thought for some that time sweetens anything.

I'm not sure if the line is very valid anyhow. Does honey actually get any sweeter as it ages? Thyme doesn't seem like an herb which would make something sweeter.

Well he's a moron then who can't spell thyme. Or he thought he'd make a play on words. Now I'm pissed. I had it all sorted out!

That's why thyme-sweetened is probably right. Time-sweetened, well you can make a case for it but it ain't whiskey or wine... honey doesn't go bad.

scott.. yeah, i'm not trying to make this piece into more than what it is.
seems like a pretty honest straightforward bit of song writing. 
this was more a matter of curiosity than anything else.

thanks

What about, 

this is a waste of time, sweat and money...  

Shite, I should be a songwriter.  I'll get me guitar. 

This article says "time-sweetened honey" and that is the conservative play. Thyme is possible, and without contacting Steve Young personally, we can never know if he meant it that way, but he was just describing an actual place... the song's pretty simple, people read a lot into it that he didn't put there. Anyway, thyme honey is a thing, so I'd go with that. "Sweet and honey" is just nonsense.

hello all

you were so awesome with my last impossible question, here's another.
this time i actually have the title and artist for the song. =)

the eagles song "seven bridges road" has a line at the end that rp reports as:

  a)  there is a taste of time sweetened honey

but i have seen
   b) there is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
   c) there is a taste of time sweet and honey

i am inclined to believe (b), but (a) also seems reasonable to me.
anyone know what the real lyrics are for this line?

thanks!
