Crickets in the Rain

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”
