I love you walking around like you've lived in here before
There's rags in the kitchen, there's stains on the floor
And 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, 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 feared 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
