Lyrics
When I met her she was just engaged
I was only twenty-three
She left right when I said hello
I pursued her in my dreams
And when I found the courage
To speak more than a word
She was dressed in green and wild as night
All like a Hummingbird
She stole my heart some more each day
She said You should be mine
We married in her father's house
Beneath the autumn sky
Blissfully I watched her darting
Round and out of sight
I knew I couldn't hold on long
My hands are much too tight
She slips, there she slides
And here she comes and there she flies
Yeah... She said she'd travel by my side
Unless death doth do us part
We were in some crowded city street
Then stopped her beating heart
Gone before we made one year
All good things she passed
Disappeared into the breeze
And flew out for the last
Yeah... Oh
In these times of constant change
I've been holding on for you
You're the one whose affections I still crave
The one my world clings to
These words of mine escape my mouth
And travel without bounds
Up through the clouds out into space
There run devotion's sounds
I hear them! Oooh... Yeah
We'll I know she slips, she slides
And here she comes, there she flies
Oh if I could be with her again
I don't know what I would say
But I'll always know her by her shape
Between the night and day
She comes to me in glimpses now
Just as fleeting as a word
Flashes bright, disappears
My darling, my darling bird
Hummingbird oooh
