Summer arrived on the back of a mockingbird.
|
It sang a sweet melody, but couldn't seem to find the right words.
|
I don't know if you've heard, but it's all over town,
|
Yeah they're buzzing about it now.
|
|
I was singing alone when the mockingbird came to me,
|
Perched on my windowsill, and hummed along quietly.
|
But before long she was singing along, and she said, yeah she said:
|
|
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
|
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
|
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,
|
Now I'm not alone."
|
|
Autumn was on it's way and summer was on it's way out;
|
The mockingbird told me: "I change with the seasons,"
|
And that she was leaving town in a few days now.
|
|
We said our goodbyes, and I secretly wished for more time,
|
But the seasons are merciless.
|
For a while we both stood in silence
|
Until she said:
|
|
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
|
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
|
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,
|
Now I'm not alone."
