about

I wrote this song for my mother.

lyrics

Song of the Cricket

Cricket sings behind the wall
And he chirps his ancient story
It's the one his mother sang
And my mother heard before me

It's a story without end
In a voice that's very small
It's a song that transcends time
There's a thread that binds us all

Cricket sing behind the wall
I'll listen all night long
There's a chill now in the air
And the leaves are almost gone
Tell me, do you ever wonder
Why everything must die
When you sing your mother's story
Do you feel like you might cry

Cricket teach your children well
To sing behind the wall
And I'll teach my children well
To listen for their call

Repeat first two graphs
