A Humming Bird flew past me, late the other night
I heard her cry behind the smile, sparkling in the light
I felt the beauty of it, true tears that glistened, too
I did not have to see the pain to feel what she'd been through
I hear her warm heart beating in surrender of the glow
Coming from emotion of the deeper parts I show
Overwhelmed by signals I've seen circle the sky
I ask myself again, yet sometimes still I wonder why
How could I not release my mind and say the way I feel
Consider this a compromise, instead of an appeal
That it may be something, like a Lover or a star
As if there was use wishing I might change the way things are
So I rest my weary head before I finally go to sleep
For a short while I will get to be the one who cannot keep
Worry of the likelihood I will accept the blame
Provided that the reasons for you leaving are the same
Tomorrow when I wake-up will I still be dreaming of
The parts of my emotions that were meant to show you Love
Maybe there was something that mislead me to believe
I would ever reach the goal that I was trying to achieve
