Meadowlark, fly away down
I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown
for you to wear upon your fleece'd gown

A meadowlark sing to me

Hummingbird, just let me die
Inside the broken holes of your olive eyes.
I do believe you gave it your best try

A hummingbird sing to me

Mmmmmmm...

A hummingbird sing to me

Don't believe a word that I haven't heard,
Little children laughin' at the boys and girls,
The meadowlark singin' to you each and every day,
The archon on the hillside and the market in the hay.

Ooooh

    After "hummingbird, just let me" I believe it's either "die" or "dive". I'm leaning more towards "die".
