lyrics

Cicadas in the lemon trees
Do you still want me on my knees?
Cicadas in the olive grove
And I’ll be on my way

I lost my voice while overseas
Like Hades took Persephone
I saw the shadows on the wall
I swallowed all the seeds

I dipped my toes in the water
You left one foot out the door
I went like a lamb to the slaughter
A hungry wolf never hangs about

We took the fruit from the vine
Flattened as the fact abides
We went to the beach from Joni’s song
Come on, get out your cane

Well I was drenched down to the bone
You said you’d prefer to be left alone
But if you were just a thirsty sponge
then I’m left high and dry

I dipped my toes in the water
You left one foot out the door
I went like a lamb to the slaughter
A hungry wolf never hangs about

It seems I just cannot help
But to genuflect at the altar of your allergy to love

Cicadas in the lemon trees
Do you still want me on my knees?
Cicadas in the olive grove
And I'll be on my way
