droves

ballroom thieves, the

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
