Listen & Lyrics: ‘Hummingbird’ By Maren Morris

One of the standout tracks from Maren Morris on her Humble Quest record is “Hummingbird.”

The sweet lullaby was written by Morris alongside Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose. The song was inspired by her and Ryan Hurd’s baby boy, Hayes.

“My song ‘Hummingbird,’ is about my son,” Maren Morris told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s doing good, he’s about to be two. He got his first pair of cowboy boots this week, so, he’s feeling sassy.”

She added, “He’s precious. He is honestly the sweetest kid. I don’t know how we got so lucky with such a sweet baby, but he is.”

Maren Morris ‘Hummingbird’ Lyrics:

You’re Mexico in the Winter
You’re Tennessee in the Spring
You come and go like a whisper
Leaving me the most beautiful dream

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You’re the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I’ll hold you in my loving arms
But I’ll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

I’ve been waiting all my life for your colors
And I’ve been watering the flowers while you’re gone
I’ve been looking out the window for a glimmer
Not knowing you’ve been with me all along

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You’re the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I’ll hold you in my loving arms
But I’ll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

Ooh, I’ll never try to cage you
Ooh, take the sky that God gave you

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You’re the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I’ll hold you in my loving arms
But I’ll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me
