The 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.
In the woods we lit a fire
And we watched a wary deer walk by
The trees were restless
Moving underbrush
And clouds were banking in the sky
But I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're marching on Monsanto
But the same monolithic structures rise
In the garden we sat writing
To the rush of highway noise beside
Lonesome bees ignored the sirens
While remembering their dancing guide
But I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're marching on the Capitol
With wings at their back
And fear in their eyes
There's sage and glove and distant waters
But there's no map home
For Memory's daughters
Do the darting thoughts of gods have
Dreams like ours?
On the tarmac rows of pirouetting
Jets wait gravely in their lanes
While from our windows, getting higher
We see hybrids wandering the plains
And I got a message from the hummingbird
He gave me a warning in disguise
He told me they're barking at their shadows
While the same monolithic structures rise
I got a message from the hummingbird
