Hummingbird

But in his car and in his arms
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
He would lie awake and count them
So he slept on a mountain
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
But he never could
Standing still in your past
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars

Floating fast like a hummingbird
Standing still in your past
His goal in life was to be an echo
A hummingbird
Would never let him die alone
No one could hear him

A dream can mean anything
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
Remember to remember me
She appears in his dreams
Remember to remember me
Floating fast like a hummingbird
The type of sound that floats around

Remember to remember me
Or anything
And then back down like a feather
Floating fast like a hummingbird

Standing still in your past
