Wilco - Hummingbird Lyrics
His goal in life was to be an echoRiding alone, town after town, toll after tollA fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget herShe appears in his dreamsBut in his car and in his armsA dream can mean anythingA cheap sunset on a television set can upset herBut he never couldRemember to remember meStanding still in your pastFloating fast like a hummingbirdHis goal in life was to be an echoThe type of sound that floats around and then back downLike a featherBut in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest ManhattansNo one could hear himOr anythingSo he slept on a mountainIn a sleeping bag underneath the starsHe would lie awake and count themAnd the gray fountain spray of the great Milky WayWould never let himDie aloneRemember to remember meStanding still in your pastFloating fast like a hummingbirdRemember to remember meStanding still in your pastFloating fast like a hummingbirdA hummingbirdA hummingbird
