Lyrics
Hummingbird you found me Resting on my own Leave me be I'm colored sad All the world's forgot me Left me all alone Almost it's as if I'm mad Peel the way the sunset Think we'll find tomorrow? Do you think tomorrow's different than today? Weary of my eyes I've Tired many tries. What is it you offer? I'll take what you offer So we share a moment Is this not a sign? Whistle up a rhyme or melody Both us move along A unity create Two is quite a potent remedy What is it you'll find here? Why'd you even come here? What would make you want to stay? Where is it you're off to Curious of wonder Maybe I could join you? Leave myself behind Look I sit and witness Turning of the leaves Fallen snow and death be had Stuck here in my roots Beholden to the breeze This is why I'm colored sad If you have the answer Where I might belong to Point to where I find my peace Or leave me for a brighter A sense of what you're after, Is not what you're after Always just the same? Hummingbird who share in Death be all but known, Flutter into sweeter times. Tell me that I'll be there Observed and observing Father of the future times.
