John Smith - Hummingbird lyrics

Artist: John Smith

album: Hummingbird


When I met her, she was just engaged
I was only 23
She left right when I said, "Hello"
I pursued her in my dreams
And when I found the courage
For to speak more than a word
She was dressed in green and wild as night
All like a hummingbird

She stole my heart some more each day
And she said, "You should be mine"
We married in her father's house
Beneath the autumn sky
Blissfully, I watched her darting round and out of sight
And I knew I couldn't hold on long
These hands are much too tight
Yes, she slips
And there she slides
Here she comes
And there she flies

She said she'd travel by my side
Unless death should do us part
It was in some crowded city street
There stopped her beating heart
So, gone before we made one year
Like all good things, she passed
She disappeared into the breeze
And flew out for the last

In these times of constant change
I am holding on for you
You're the one whose affections I still crave
The one my world clings to
And these words of mine escape my mouth
And travel without bounds
Up through the clouds and into space
There run devotion's sounds
You can hear them!
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Heey, ah

Yes, she slips
There she slides
Here she comes
And there she flies
If I could be with her again
I don't know what I would say
But I'll always know her by her shape
Between the night and day
And she comes to me in glimpses now
As fleeting as a word
Flashes bright and disappears
My darling, my darling hummingbird
