Droves

(album: The Ballroom Thieves - 2013)

My love, it comes in droves
Lives in cities, towns, and under stones
Topples like dominos
Too drunk to stand upright

My love, it comes in colors
Builds its nests in hands of lovers
Leaves one and joins the other
Ration taking flight

I've got a hummingbird heart
Too quick to hold

My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
Yeah my love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)

My voice, it comes in screaming
Like it's living on the cuff
You nod your head like you believe it
And now you're thinking that's enough
You try to hold me together
You try to hold me to my frame
But you and I know better
That I will go just like I came
Just like I came

I've got a hummingbird heart
Too quick to hold
I'll trade the money in my pocket
For the marrow in your bone

My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
Yeah my love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)

You put my love to the test
Unbridled and undressed
Made its bed in a hornet's nest
And we both got stung

I've got a hummingbird heart
Too quick for your hands
Have I let the things that I owe
Be the things that I am?
Be the things that I am

Oh my love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
Yeah my love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes (Goes, goes)
My love, it comes and goes
