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 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."
