Crickets

Pass the cotton fields and the old spring mill We laid a blanket down where the world was still Where nothing but a quarter of moon lights up the dark Just me and her letting nature work When it feels so right there's no need for work All cuddled up just listening to our hearts And the crickets, itty bitty crickets Ain't another sound for miles around just listen It's quiet, real quiet When the crickets start chirping lord don't they say it all It was going great, just our third date We were taking it slow, but getting carried away I never thought you could fall so far so soon It could have been the rice or the Boones Farm wine But either way my tongue came untied We both heard me say I love you Crickets, nothing but crickets Ain't another sound for miles around just listen It's quiet, real quiet When the crickets start chirping lord don't they say it all It might have been seconds but it felt like an hour Then she gave me a kiss, said it's all worked out Got my mama's white dress my grandmama's ring I know a little church baby what do ya think She said what do ya think It's quiet, ha ha, real quiet When the crickets start chirping lord don't they say it all Oh crickets, itty bitty crickets When the crickets start chirping lord don't they say it all
