Hummingbird

Hush pretty baby lay your sweet head down and rest

It’s a perfect little crime to have nothin’ and be so blessed

And you provoke me to complete abandon can’t believe that I’m still standin’

Knock me to the floor and lift me higher than before

Well, you complicate, liberate, intoxicate till I can’t see straight

Why hummingbird you are a gift for which a man would gladly die

Still me with your song, enchant me with your lover’s lullaby

With wings that beat the rhythm of my heart you’re not forgiven for

The blissful waking torture that you put me through, the agony of ecstasy that breaks this world makes a new

And as I lay me down you’re humming me to sleep

You tuck me in with a wandering melody

On night’s dark shroud you carry me to places far away

A portal sewn from wordless song and moonbeams

Lullaby and good night

You, you are my delight

Shining angels beside

My darling abide

What’s to fill the lonely, vacant hours tucked between the dusk and dawn?

A seeming-wakeful vivid world of wonder built upon your song

I’m as light as air, without a care, with you I’d share this moment for eternity

Your spell has hit me and I’ve fallen

Under your caress I effervesce, I do confess you’ve got the best of me

The dragon took the little paper boy to the land by the sea

Jake found a ladder to heaven in the depths of sleep

And my Honah Lee’s in the crook of your neck and the curves of your lips

Pressed gently together to sound the song of the child in me

You’ll bind our souls with a ring of string and sealing wax

And the song you’ve sung will last till the world’s done

Just because I’m drifting off doesn’t mean you have to stop

As your rhythm rocks me ever gently under

Lullaby and good night

You, you are my delight

Shining angels beside

My darling abide
