Sugar Water

The hummingbird is gone, she drank the sugar water and she flew away
The summer sun is buried on an island on a frozen lake
As it tries to thaw, it cracks, it groans its aching bones
Until it’s summertime
Until it’s summertime again
The first thing on the list of things I had to do was get back to you
As Spring returns, the world is melting; it feels new again
Until it’s summertime
Until it’s summertime again
It rains so much in May
Now all the trees look taller than they’ve ever been
But at the break of day, memories come floating through the evergreens
And the hummingbird is gone, she drank the sugar water and she flew away
She flew away from here
Until it’s summertime
Until it’s summertime again
