my love
it comes in droves
lives in cities
towns
and under stones
topples like dominos
too drunk to stand upright
my love
it comes in colors
builds its nests in hands of lovers
leaves one and joins the other
ration taking flight
i've got a hummingbird heart
too quick to hold
my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
yeah my love
it comes and goes
my voice
it comes in screaming
like it's living on the cuff
you nod your head like you believe it
and now you're thinking that's enough
you try to hold me together
you try to hold me to my frame
but you and i know better
that i will go just like i came
just like i came
i've got a hummingbird heart
too quick to hold
i'll trade the money in my pocket
for the marrow in your bone
my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
yeah my love
it comes and goes
you put my love to the test
unbridled and undressed
made its bed in a hornet's nest
and we both got stung
i've got a hummingbird heart
too quick for your hands
have i let the things that i owe
be the things that i am?
be the things that i am
oh my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
yeah my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
my love
it comes and goes
