Wilco - Hummingbird lyrics

Your rating:

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
