BIKING HOME AT 4 AM

Biking home at 4 AM,
the sun was already rising
as I crossed the lakeshore by the park.
And that's when I saw, in the fountain by the lake
the Same Two Ducks,
who'd been waiting to swim all winter.

And It made me so happy to see them
that I started humming,
and put my foot down to the pedal
until the wind whizzed by
and my shirt-sleeves flapped
while the scenery flipped by
like the pages from a storybook.
And as I passed by a seagull that was flying up above,
I knew that I was gaining up on 30 miles an hour,

And I thought to myself;
"Well if that bird up there is flying,
and I'm passing that bird...
Well then baby,"
I thought to myself,
"Why, I'm flying too."
And I knew exactly where I was flying:
I was flying back to home, I was flying back to you.
