"Just because I said I didn't want her Doesn't mean I wanted her to go In fact I quite depended on her But then I didn't even think that she knows"

i understand this part but the hummingbird parts are lost on me... any ideas? i think the flute in this song is kind of annoying perhaps because it sounds like a bird that wakes me up every saturday as i try desperately to sleep in. so yeah hate to admitt it but this is not one of my favorites of jcm's...maybe if someone had some insight into the meaning i might like it more though! help!
