Stealing the Night Away by Bert Jansch Lyrics

Never still, always moving
You can't avert a surprise
But when she's beatin' so fast you can't see them
It's just a trick of the light
She's my sweet little humming bird
Stealing the night away

She's got a taste for the sweet life
Hungers for more everyday
She got a new light of love to experience
I've got sweet highway
She's my sweet little humming bird
Stealing the night away

Like a dream she dances
Shimmers on through the night
She cast a spell then steals your heart
Living on a swift delight
She's my sweet little humming bird
Stealing the night away
Never still, always moving
You can't avert a surprise
When she's beatin' so fast you can't see them
It's just a trick of the light
She's my sweet little humming bird
Stealing the night away
