Hummingbird Lyrics
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,
Ah there's a hummingbird crying.
Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head
So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.
Lying down on the cold, dirty floor.
The colors are fading, they'll never shine again.
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.
There's a shadow where you once lay.
They'll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone.
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Ah there's a hummingbird crying.

hmmmm.... I think she is dying, of cancer or something. She lies in her bed and he sits beside it, watching her dying, not able to do anything anymore.
The other explanation is that they went to bed, and when he wakes up the next morning she is gone. Probably just a one night stand or something.
This song is sad and beautiful, but sometimes a bit TOO beautiful = kitschy. I can play it on my guitar.
