Fire in the Field

Lyrics

“Hummingbird”

Hummingbird
I been waiting a century for you
Hear your thrum over headstone
Your simple eye on a dare
Take the nectar in my flower bed
Hear old bones dissolve
As wings begin

Hummingbird, hummingbird
Tell me what do you see?
Hummingbird my humming bird lord
Don’t disappear on me

Hummingbird
Your purring sounds like conversation
Cartoon color bloom
Won’t you take me to the Andes
Account for my size and the wind
Won’t you take me to the Andes
Account for my size and the wind

Hummingbird, hummingbird
Tell me what do you see?
Hummingbird my hummingbird
Don’t disappear on me

Hummingbird
Will I find it hard to stay in flight
Hummingbird
Will I see in the dead of night?
Oh hummingbird
I’m hungry for nectar inside
Hummingbird
I’m not used to being so alive
So alive so alive
Tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what do you see?
Hummingbird my hummingbird
Don’t disappear
Don’t disappear
Don’t disappear on me
