Hummingbird, hummingbird, give me a song
Open your heart and I’ll listen along
To the melody played in my ears when you speak
Of the thoughts that arise from your head through the week
Hummingbird, hummingbird, show me a dance
You jump to a beat and I’m pulled in a trance
Like a moth to the flame, you have drawn me again
To explore how to capture such beauty in pen
Hummingbird, hummingbird, stare at my eyes
The warmth in your own is my number one prize
I am blinded and deafened and frozen in place
Only thawed by desires to keep with your pace
You’re as sweet as the nectar you drink from each flower
And agony sprouts as I miss you each hour
