Hummingbird

Arthur Matos

Compositor: Arthur Matos

Can you keep the lights on?
As I used to do
Lying on this wood floor
Remembering old memories

You must remember when
A hummingbird sang for us
Without fear of losing his voice

Near our backyard
A harvest moon will rise
The brown of your eyes
Will be reflected in the fields

We can go back there
And sit in our rocking chair
Without fear of losing ourselves
