Recorded at home
mixed by file share by Tom Dusome

lyrics

The leaves are falling and the burdock is dead
Two old cicadas sing their dying duet
I see the children run around in the sun
The curtain drops and I go straight back to bed

Another summer's passed me by
They splashed and played and laughed while I
I watched it all from the other side
Of a chain-link fence I couldn't climb

I dream of sunny days 'fore my body broke
Of beaches, barbecues, and climbing old oaks
Of biking harder as the wind kissed my cheeks
Until this sickness stuck a stick in my spokes

Another summer's passed me by
They splashed and played and laughed while I
I watched it all from the other side
Of a chain-link fence I couldn't climb

Cicadas
