V1
Sometimes when I hear crickets C
I get to thinking about that time C F C
We layed our blankets in the open field C
And watched the full moon climb C Dm G
I could hear your heart keeping beat F C
With the night song all around AM F
And the stars weren’t just in heaven F C AM
They were with us on the ground. F G
Chorus
I look too much for magic F C
Believe more than I should C AM F
But it gets me through missing you C DM
So I’m believing for good. F G
F G C
V2
When I eat in a diner
I think of that place on south main
A cricket on the loose sang harmony
To the way you said my name
Like we’d never heard of secrets
Didn’t know about pain or death.
That booth coulda been in a garden
Full of jasmine and baby’s breath
Chorus
V3
Last night a cricket landed
On the couch right where I sat
I didn’t try to chase him off
I let him stay where he was at.
All night the cricket’s song
Made the world seem safe and sound
And you weren’t just in heaven
You were with me on the ground.
Chorus x2
