"hummingbird" lyrics

"hummingbird"

The wind is like a memory that paces in the night
Waiting for the moment that your guard is compromised
It don't care if you're sleeping
It don't care if you're drunk
It knows the secret you're keeping
No matter where you wake up

Ooh, when the rain gets poured
The river don't run to an old love's door
Ooh, and the train don't stop
'Cause the tracks get tired of the way it talks
Sun don't burn down the whole damn sky
Just 'cause the moon ain't on its side
Ooh, and the hummingbird flies on by
'Cause it hates goodbye, and so do I

The heart forgets the battle but remembers who it was
No scientist can calculate the ratio of love
It don't know when it's beating
It don't know when it's dead
It's just tired of keeping me out of my head

Ooh, when the rain gets poured
The river don't run to an old love's door
Ooh, and the train don't stop
'Cause the tracks get tired of the way it talks
Sun don't burn down the whole damn sky
Just 'cause the moon ain't on its side
Ooh, and the hummingbird flies on by
'Cause it hates goodbye, and so do I

Leaves don't know why they're falling
Trees don't know why they stay
The song don't know why it started
And I'm just that way

Ooh, when the rain gets poured
The river don't run to an old love's door
Ooh, and the train don't stop
'Cause the tracks get tired of the way it talks
Sun don't burn down the whole damn sky
Just 'cause the moon ain't on its side
Ooh, and the hummingbird flies on by
'Cause it hates goodbye, and so do I
And so do I
