Hummingbird Garden

V6

[Verse 1] I stood by the fence line With pollen on my shoes Two hummingbirds went darting Through the gold and blue You would have laughed at me For going quiet so long Just watching them trade flowers Like they both knew the song [Pre-Chorus] And I thought of your hand Warm in mine, easy, slow Thought of the little life We never got to grow [Chorus] Hummingbird garden You and me, you and me Hummingbird garden Could have been a family (You and me) Could have been a family [Verse 2] One bird chased the other Round the marigold bed So bright it made me wonder What we left unsaid There was a chair for two In the shade by the door Now the roses lean toward it Like they’re waiting for more [Pre-Chorus] And I felt that old ache Soft as rain on the tin A whole house full of maybe All the roads we didn’t gain [Chorus] Hummingbird garden You and me, you and me Hummingbird garden Could have been a family (You and me) Could have been a family [Bridge] If I close my eyes I can almost see it Tiny shoes by the steps Your name on the seedlings A little yellow room A laugh through the screen We were just a season From making it a dream [Final Chorus] Hummingbird garden You and me, you and me Hummingbird garden Could have been a family (You and me) Could have been a family Hummingbird garden Gone before it grew Hummingbird garden Still I tend to you (Still I tend to you) Still I tend to you
