Build Your House Around Me (Edit)
Up on the hillside
Overlooking the valley below
Sunbeams frame your face
Lying in the evening glow
A hummingbird beats its wings
Behind my head, under the pines
A spitting image of us
Reflects in the mirror of its eyes
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn't need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
I try to stay silent
But the hummingbird flies away
I don't want to talk too much
Just want to listen to what you have to say
The sunbeams are tilting down
And turning pink
Our bodies lay in the grass
I feel my weight start to sink
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn't need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
But I can't stay here forever
I'll disappear behind the hill like the sun
But in a year or three
You could build your house around me
Overlooking the valley below
Sunbeams frame your face
Lying in the evening glow
A hummingbird beats its wings
Behind my head, under the pines
A spitting image of us
Reflects in the mirror of its eyes
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn't need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
I try to stay silent
But the hummingbird flies away
I don't want to talk too much
Just want to listen to what you have to say
The sunbeams are tilting down
And turning pink
Our bodies lay in the grass
I feel my weight start to sink
If you were that hummingbird
You wouldn't need to look for any more flowers
And if I was a towering tree
You could build your house around me
But I can't stay here forever
I'll disappear behind the hill like the sun
But in a year or three
You could build your house around me
