Mockingbird

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
