• Hummingbird

  There’s a yellow flower by your bed
  Sadly droopin’ it’s perfumed head
  So you won’t smell it, I know what you’ll miss

  And there’s a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  Oh there’s a hummingbird singing.

  There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore
  Lying down on the cold, dirty floor.
  The colors are fading, they’ll never shine again.

  And there’s a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  Oh there’s a hummingbird singing.

  Now the road is turning gray,
  There’s a shadow where you once lay.
  They’ll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone.

  But there’s a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  Ah there’s a hummingbird crying.
