Crickets And Spiders. Lyrics - Singles - Full Service

When everybody's gone 

And nobody's breathing 

What's the color "nothing" 

What's the sound of "no" 

On my lawn 

Critters crawl and make they're way through dirt they scare me 

Something's wrong 

Not too long 

Not too long ago I hated crickets, spiders 

Ants on logs 

Hated bees 

Hated worms I hated things that slid and hopped and slithered 

Lizards, frogs 

Troubled times 

Troubled mind you were my anchor in this big sea 

Every time 

Heard a song 

Heard it drivin' on my way to Minnesota 

Sang along 

Made me cry 

Made me think about my life when you were in it 

Lullaby 

Once I had a thought 

Made me so upset 

Asked my mother things about existence and death 

That's one concern too big 

Told me not to worry, "you've got so much time to live" 

Held me very long 

Told me "child, be strong."
