WILCO lyrics : "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
