Hummingbird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hummingbird hummingbird should be your name
(Hummingbird should be your name)
Too restless to settle too wild to tame
(Too restless too wild to tame)
Too restless to settle too wild to tame
Hummingbird hummingbird should be your name
(Hummingbird winging along)
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
(No blossom can hold you for long)
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
Hummingbird hummingbird winging along
You'd hug me and kiss me like others I've known
You'd promise to love me and call me your own
Then all of my dreams would be shattered apart
By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
Hummingbird hummingbird feathered so fine
(Hummingbird feathered so fine)
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mine
(I know it would not make you mine)
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mine
Hummingbird hummingbird feathered so fine
Hummingbird hummingbird fly right on by
Some folks like to gamble but darling not I
Some folks like to gamble but darling not I
Hummingbird hummingbird fly right on by
I'd rather be lonely I'd rather be blue
Yes I'd rather spend my whole life without you
Then feather a nest to be shattered apart
By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
