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 its way and summer
was on its 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."
