Lyrics

Feel the hard wind rolling down off Tucker Mountain,
See the firewood that’s been gathered, split and cured to burn,
This cold and bitter season just hastens on your leaving,
I hope I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return.

Springtime lays so soft here on this valley,
Gentle summer breezes seem to satisfy all yearn,
But when the river’s edge is freezing it puts you in a mind for leaving,
I hope I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return.

Oh you’re going where the sun warms love and life’s chilling winters,
Where the changing of the seasons brings no cause for concern,
Oh you’re following to where the blooms are full of sweetest nectar,
Such a simple lesson but it’s one that’s so hard learned,
And I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return.

Driven to this journey by an aching and a hunger,
Witnessing the wonder of following your heart.

Well on a clear night I swear I can see heaven,
You know the touch of your hand still sets my soul to churn,
But there’s a cool breath in your laughter as we turn another chapter,
I hope I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return.

Oh you’re going where the sun warms love and life’s chilling winters,
Where the changing of the seasons brings no cause for concern,
Oh you’re following to where the blooms are full of sweetest nectar,
Such a simple lesson but it’s one that’s so hard learned,
And I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return.

I hope I’ll see you when the hummingbirds return
