[Verse 1]
I love you walking around like you’ve lived in here before
There’s rags in the kitchen
There’s stains on the floor
And checkered tile and old air seem to fill this house just right, so
Let down your hair and pull up the blinds

[Verse 2]
That dog, now he wants out
While I’m pulling you in
Let’s sing a song or two
While the flag floats in the wind

Let’s walk down to the airfield
And let’s start the morning right
And if you’re lucky we’ll catch the sunrise
Stay here ’til we die

[Chorus]
This town’s been good to us
Through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home
But I still can call you mine
That’s all you need, love
When you want some peace of mind
It’s just you and me and the dog and the singing Cicada Choir

[Verse 3]
Let your voice fall all down into the floor
‘Cause the ones we always feared can’t hear us anymore
And when you start to speak
Talk about joy, talk about hurt
‘Cause the quiet in my ears is desperate for your words

[Chorus]
This town’s been good to us
Through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home

But I still can call you mine
That’s all you need, love
When you want some peace of mind
It’s just you and me and the dog and the singing Cicada Choir

[Chorus]
This town’s been good to us
Through both the rain and shine
And we may not call it home
But I still can call you mine
That’s all you need, love
When you want some peace of mind
It’s just you and me and the dog and the singing Cicada Choir
