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
Could 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 loudest Manhattan
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, a hummingbird
