Crickets in the Rain

Crickets in the Rain - Allo Darlin'

Back in 1992

Sometimes dreams really

Did come true

I kissed you in a swimming pool

Your lips were sweet

From the Juicy Fruit

Later as a refrain

I heard crickets singing in the rain

And the Weather With You

Floating through

Fluorescent blue lights

In the haze

And nothing feels the way

It did before

And I am grateful for that

The truth is

When I realised I loved you

It was like everything

I had ever lost had come back

Driving round in your car

Start to feel a little older

And somehow I learned

To never accept

The things that

I didn't deserve

Walking past the reservoir

And the place where he fell

When he saw the stars

I tried to hold on tighter

To you

But I felt you

Slip through my grasp

And nothing feels the way

It did before

And I am grateful for that

The truth is

When I realised I loved you

It was like everything

I had ever lost had come back

And the night is warm

You turn a sprinkler on

There's an apricot sky

Over the city lights

And I have a sense that

Somehow this will end

But I am going forward

Never to go back again

And nothing feels the way

It did before

And I am grateful for that

The truth is when I realised

I loved you

It was like everything

I had ever lost

And nothing feels the way

It did before

And I am grateful for that

The truth is when I realised

I loved you

It was like everything

I had ever lost had come back

Last saw you in a carpark

Reading Joan Didion

In the dark

It's easy to see

Where things begin

It is harder to see

Where they end

And nothing feels the way

It did before

And I am grateful for that

The truth is when I realised

I loved you

It was like everything

I had ever lost had come back
