His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
Fm C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
C Cmaj7 Em G
She appears in his dreams
Am Am(Maj7)But in his car and in his arms
A dream can mean anything
Fm EbA cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
GBut he never could
Em E/D
Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
E/Eb CFloating fast like a hummingbird
G G/F# Em G/F#
His goal in life was to be an echo
G G/F#The type of sound that floats around and then back down
Like a feather
CmBut in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
GNo one could hear him
Or anything
So he slept on a mountain
Em Em/F#In a sleeping bag underneath the stars
Am CHe would lie awake and count them
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
BbWould never let him
DDie alone
G Bm
Remember to remember me
Standing still in your past
C DFloating fast like a hummingbird
G Bm
Remember to remember me
Em G7Standing still in your past
Floating fast like a hummingbird
A hummingbird
A hummingbird
(Violin part)
G G/F# Bm Em Em(Maj7) Am Cm
