Hummingbird
Cat Stevens
There's a yellow flower by your bed
Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head
So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss
And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.
There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore
Lying down on the cold, dirty floor.
The colors are fading, they'll never shine again.
And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.
Now the road is turning gray,
There's a shadow where you once lay.
They'll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone.
But there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
