Hummingbird Seals and Crofts (#20 in 1973)

Oh Hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along
Heavenly Songbird we were so wrong, we've harmed you
Oh Hummingbird, lend us your wings
Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha
"Lift us up to the Heaven of Holiness
Oh Source of our being!"* --Oh, Hummingbird

    Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
    Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away


In you I found a fragrance
I'll love you till I die
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why.
  Chorus

The sweetness of your "Nectar"
Has drawn me like a fly
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why now
   Chorus

Haven't you noticed the days
somehow keep getting longer
And the spirit-voices whisper in us all
Haven't you noticed the rays
The "Spirit Sun" is stronger
And a "New Day" is dawning for us all.
  Chorus

Alas here comes the "Gardener"
He's come to till the flowers
The draught of understanding,
wisdom, peace and love is ours.
  Chorus

Don't fly away, don't fly away...
