Hummingbird - Seals & Crofts

People don't sing About days that didn't happen, and People don't cry for tears that weren't shed Time doesn't stop When you close your eyes, and our Big old clock will keep on ticking til it dies Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured Can you cry for your mother and your father too Can you breathe until there's no air left in you What if there were No wings on a butterfly, and What if we walked 1000 days How long would it take If we all held hands, and How many miles Could we go before our heads layed down Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured Can you cry for your mother and your father too Can you breathe until there's no air left in you No one's going home tonight without a Heartache and moonlight Keep on moving on until There's nothing else to move on to and we're gone Can you hear the hum of the hummingbird Can you smell the breeze carrying leaves that it lured Can you cry for your mother and your father too Can you breathe until there's no air left in you Can you breathe until there's no air left in you

I'm looking for a god, one that I believe in The stories that he tells divine I'm looking for a god, help me find peace of mind A worthy resolution mankind When did I stop waiting for you? Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go Nothing like the song from my radio box We tried to make the best of our lives We get used to what we have then we don't want it any more There's nothing in our stomachs but wine Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go One day I will leave without turning back I will resist the cold, resist the wind I will walk à pas lents And that today will make me become someone else I will be someone else Another world is possible Another world is possible Another world is possible Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go

From the albums DIAMOND GIRL (1973), APPETIZERS (1973) and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979). Jessica, dear Jessica, forget me not and won't you try to write to me, on your wedding day? Jessica, dear Jessica, you'll look just like a painting in your dress of white as you walk away. But just remember who taught you how to kiss. I'm gonna miss you. Remember back when you were just a lonely girl, all alone in a lonely world. Did I try to care too much, or have I lost my touch? Jessica, dear Jessica, I'll dress in black and cry upon my pillow, when each day is through. Jessica, my Jessica, the flowers in the fields will bow their heads today, 'cause I'm feeling blue. But just remember who taught you how to care. And tell me where I can find the little girl I used to know so well. Could she still be around? I would give the world to know if she's still in town.

Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay Reaching for the arms of love, livin', dreamin', thinkin' of The moment I slip on the glove, my fear is gone The grain of hope has grown Starin' at the face of happiness, this time it answers yes In aging peace my doubts will rest away, let the feeling stay Looking through the eyes of truth, I see faith and love and youth And all else dries up like the dew, my fear is gone The grain of hope has grown And I'll be running, laughing Playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone The distant feeling's gone and I can make it from now on My world has something new, it's all because of you The sweet green fields growing in my life will never die Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay Walking up the road of togetherness, this time I must confess This day's the very best, my fear is gone The grain of hope has grown And I'll be running, laughing Playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone Now I'll be running, laughing Playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone Well I'll be running, laughing Playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone
