HummingbirdYou are set freeFlex your wingsAnd steal me awayHe picked her last winterAs one pulls out a splinterRed-eyed and tender He needed a menderShe stuck aroundLike a weed in the groundRaising her voice when given a choiceNever once understoodWhy he slept in a hoodDid he try to concealThe love that he'd feel?When she sang in her sleepOr brushed past his sweet heelsHe never was one for finishing mealsAnd when he felt he was right at her tetherHe carried her down to the riverTold her blue is the colour of calmAnd life is better when spent in her armsSo they made shapes with their limbs in the waterSongtexteImagined names they'd reserve for their daughterKaleidoscope pulse pounding palms on their backsDarling breathe inHold it there, and relaxMuch like a squid As she sank in her dressReeds rip the frillsOn her sweet Sunday BestAnd tie latches onto old Goodness anchorAnd he now regrets dressing smart and fancy like a bankerAnd as shells act as lids on their eyesAlgae like clouds does commence in it's riseIn clear blue spheres he is trying to prayHoping the dove, well she will not fly awayClasp my hand tightWe will survive the nightAnd if the blue it drowns youWell i'll be right behind youHummingbirdYou are set freeFlex your wingsAnd steal me away Aus Songtexte Mania
