From the recording Undertones
Lyrics
Hummingbird, a whisper in her wings
Watcher and protector, hear her sing
A lullaby, a song to heal the sting
I’ll do what I do, what I do
To make it all better for you
And the hard times I take, so you’ll never face them
So you never have to feel blue
Hummingbird, a remnant of her soul
Fluttering and floating as we grow old
Singing soft and sweet songs to console
But when in doubt, and waves crash down, singing songs won’t tell us how
To get along, and turn it around, all this mess that we’ve found, but
I’ll do what I do, what I do
To make it all better for you
And the hard times she’d take, for the smile on your face
Oh hummingbird, carry us through
I’ll do what I do, what I do
To make it all better for you
And the hard times I take, for the smile on your face
Are too much for me to stay through
And the hard times I take, for the smile on your face
Oh hummingbird, carry us through
