I will send it warm in wild goose down, the way the hummingbird is said to ride
G            Am        C              D                 Am            D

I will send it in the morning sunlight, in the swift storm that burnishes the sky
G            Am          C              D                Am      D      G
In the soft breeze that curls its arms around you at the closing of the day
