about

Hummingbird is an acoustic track recorded in Rick's home studio and mixed by Michael Zammit at Airwaves Recording Studio.

lyrics

There's a hummingbird singing in the old oak tree
Where we used to run and play
Every night I sit and listen from my window sill
To hear what song she brings today
The swing I pushed you on
The fragile branch it dangled from
Has long since disappeared
But the memory locked away inside of me
Comes alive each time I hear

Her sing a song
And she sings at the top of her lungs

The girl I've always loved
Who had to go and find herself
Has now come to realise
All the shiny things won't replace the joy it brings
When the hummingbird flies by

To sing a song
That she sings at the top of her lungs

Is it wrong to assume that with all its imperfections
Love can conquer and consume
Is it wrong to assume that even with her broken wing
The hummingbird still can sing in perfect tune

Little hummingbird perched upon my window sill
Tells me my love has arrived
So I won't hesitate
Rush to meet her at the gate
With all my feelings brought to life

We'll sing her song
And we'll sing at the top of our lungs

There's a hummingbird singing in the old oak tree
Where we used to run and play
