The wind sweeps in
To brush the clouds away
And there’s no doubting we’ll live for another day
Nothing’s gained
No clarity observed
Just the joy of a Hummingbird
HUMMINGBIRD

Hummingbird
I kept my word
But I can’t hang around
Times have changed
Shapes rearranged
Fly by without a sound

I won’t forget
Our beautiful regret
We can’t have lost what we never found

Hummingbird
Your face is blurred
Just like your wings
It won’t be long
Before your song
Is lost between these strings

I won’t deny
I tried to make it last
But your movements were too fast

Hummingbird

The wind sweeps in
To brush the clouds away
And there’s no doubting we’ll live for another day
Nothing’s gained
No clarity observed
Just the joy of a hummingbird

Hummingbird
I overheard
You’ve found another home
I’m pleased for you
If you’re happy to
Leave my heart alone

Hold your breath
It’s wasted on me
Hummingbird go silently

Hummingbird
