Hummingbird |
His goal in life was to be an echo |
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll |
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her |
She appears in his dreams |
But in his car and in his arms |
A dream can mean anything |
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her |
But he never could |
Remember to remember me |
Standing still in your past |
Floating fast like a hummingbird |
His goal in life was to be an echo |
The type of sound that floats around and then back down |
Like a feather |
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans |
No one could hear him |
Or anything |
So he slept on a mountain |
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars |
He would lie awake and count them |
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way |
Would never let him |
Die alone |
Remember to remember me |
Standing still in your past |
Floating fast like a hummingbird |
Remember to remember me |
Standing still in your past |
Floating fast like a hummingbird |
A hummingbird |
A hummingbird |
