Cicada Choir

I love you walking around like you lived in here before
There's rags in the kitchen, there's stains on the floor
And the checkered tile and old air
Seem to fill this house just right so
Let down your hair and pull up the blinds

That dog now he wants out while I'm pulling you in
Let's sing a song or two while the flag floats in the wind
Let's walk down to the airfield and let's start the morning right
And if you're lucky we'll catch the sunrise and stay here till we die

This town's been good to us through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home but I still can call you mine
That's all you need love when you want some peace of mind
It's just you and me and the dog and the singing cicada choir

Let your voice fall all down into the floor
'Cause the ones we always fear can't hear us anymore
And when you start to speak, talk about joy, talk about hurt
'Cause the quiet in my ears is desperate for your words

This town's been good to us through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home but I still can call you mine
That's all you need love when you want some peace of mind
It's just you and me and the dog and the singing cicada choir

This town's been good to us through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home but I still can call you mine
That's all you need love when you want some peace of mind
It's just you and me and the dog and the singing cicada choir
