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 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»
