Alessi's Ark - Hummingbird lyrics

rate me

Hummingbird

You are set free

Flex your wings

And steal me away

He picked her last winter

As one pulls out a splinter

Red-eyed and tender

He needed a mender

She stuck around

Like a weed in the ground

Raising her voice when given a choice

Never once understood

Why he slept in a hood

Did he try to conceal

The love that he'd feel?

When she sang in her sleep

Or brushed past his sweet heels

He never was one for finishing meals

And when he felt he was right at her tether

He carried her down to the river

Told her blue is the colour of calm

And life is better when spent in her arms

So they made shapes with their limbs in the water

Imagined names they'd reserve for their daughter

Kaleidoscope pulse pounding palms on their backs

Darling breathe in

Hold it there, and relax

Much like a squid

As she sank in her dress

Reeds rip the frills

On her sweet Sunday Best

And tie latches onto old Goodness anchor

And he now regrets dressing smart and fancy like a banker

And as shells act as lids on their eyes

Algae like clouds does commence in it's rise

In clear blue spheres he is trying to pray

Hoping the dove, well she will not fly away

Clasp my hand tight

We will survive the night

And if the blue it drowns you

Well I'll be right behind you

Hummingbird

You are set free

Flex your wings

And steal me away
