Tracy Spuehler – Hummingbird lyrics

We all gathered 'round
To put you in the ground
And say a thing or two
Celebrating you

With sun on my neck
We headed to the deck
Then someone said your name
And a hummingbird came

It came so silently
A whisper from the tree
And as we stopped to stare
It felt like you were there

Now the flowers grow so high
As days and weeks pass by

And this might sound absurd
But the hummingbird
Had a red-headed mane
So we called it Jane

Hummingbird
Could you have heard
Hummingbird
Every single word

Hummingbird
I hope you heard
Hummingbird
Every single word

And as we made a fuss
It stared right back at us
Could hardly see its wings
Doing the hummingbird thing

For a moment there
It hung right in mid-air
As if all time and space
Had left without a trace

Then it leaned in for a treat
Of purple flowers so sweet
And when the time was right
It carried on its flight

We all gathered 'round...
