field guides - cicadas in the lemon trees lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
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
[chorus]
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
[post+chorus]
it seems i just cannot help
but to genuflect at the altar of your allergy to love
[outro]
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
