   x2
  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
