Mockingbird

Chase Coy

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 along 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, summer was on its way out
The mockingbird told me, "I change with the seasons"
And so she was leaving town, in a few days now

We said our goodbyes but I secretly wished for more time
The seasons are merciless
Then 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"
