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
