lyrics

Crickets on the Hill
When I was a little boy, crickets sung up on the hill
Fire flies and bumble-bees
Carved my name into a tree
And I waited for the world, to hand me a pearl, to lift me up high above
When I was a little boy, read by flashlight in the dark
Learned an ancient wiccan spell, that I'd use to break your heart
And I waited for the world, to hand me a pearl, to lift me up high above
Now I am a mean old man, staring down a setting sun
Feel the cold wind on my teeth
Feel the dampness in my lungs
And I‘m waiting for the world, to hand me a pearl, to lift me up high above
