Acid Rain

Another hummingbird departs

Another lingers in the yard

Envy how they dive so effortlessly

Envy how they revel in their weightlessness

I've recognized the beauty in fragility, it's true

But I feel like a stranger to it now, suddenly

I don't wanna leave this garden alone

While they come and go, I hover

Still enough to paint me with them

And if I can be more plainspoken

Your voice is with me, I'm reminded

I sing in part because you often

Told me that you liked to listen

Another bowl of nectar laid

Another glass of lemonade

I watch them both evaporate into the summer heat

I don't wanna leave this garden alone

While they come and go, I hover

And I don't wanna reach an end to the call

So I'll leave the phone on the table

Stand there as the dial tone runs

And if I can be more plainspoken

Your voice is with me, I'm reminded

I sing in part because you often

Told me that you liked to listen

And I believe you

And I'll believe in you

And I believe you

And I'll believe in you

And if I can be more plainspoken

Your voice is with me, I'm reminded

I sing in part because you often

Told me that you liked to listen
