Alessi's Ark - Hummingbird lyrics

Hummingbird You are set free Flex your wings And steal me away He picked her last winter As one pulls out a splinter Red-eyed and tender He needed a mender She stuck around Like a weed in the ground Raising her voice when given a choice Never once understood Why he slept in a hood Did he try to conceal The love that he'd feel? When she sang in her sleep Or brushed past his sweet heels He never was one for finishing meals And when he felt he was right at her tether He carried her down to the river Told her blue is the colour of calm And life is better when spent in her arms So they made shapes with their limbs in the water Imagined names they'd reserve for their daughter Kaleidoscope pulse pounding palms on their backs Darling breathe in Hold it there, and relax Much like a squid As she sank in her dress Reeds rip the frills On her sweet Sunday Best And tie latches onto old Goodness anchor And he now regrets dressing smart and fancy like a banker And as shells act as lids on their eyes Algae like clouds does commence in it's rise In clear blue spheres he is trying to pray Hoping the dove, well she will not fly away Clasp my hand tight We will survive the night And if the blue it drowns you Well i'll be right behind you Hummingbird You are set free Flex your wings And steal me away
