I bid my dear a due said I hope I'll see you soon
A teardrop in my eye bags packed by the departure sign
I drove out to the east to the black black waters up in old Haunted Harrison
But I didn't stay long by the dark lakeside
Had a Lilly in my heart and a thorn in my mind
Northbound I drove through the valley of the Wild Rose
I was headed for hope to go and yell in the streets
But I missed that turn no more signs could I see
But I found an old burnt down town
All the mines had long shut down no
I never made it to Hope that day but I
Well I found it anyway
My name is Nanokossaay been taken in by the Indians up on the hill
I came back to ask a blessing of you and learned a lesson or two so
Little Hummingbird is gonna fly away
Little Hummingbird is gonna fly
After oh a long sweet stay
Said I well I'll be moving on again
Back to where I'd been before and where I never had
Up on the hillside I did hide
And I saw the biggest rainbow that I ever did see
And I wore it like a crown that summer's eve
And I
I sat naked in the lake that night
Held by the deep dark sparkle sky and I
I prayed
Well I hope I make it where I'm going and I hope I
Make it back too
My name is Nanokossaay been taken in by the Indians up on the hill
I came back to ask a blessing of you and learned a lesson or two so
Little Hummingbird is gonna fly away
Little Hummingbird is gonna fly
