Cicadas Song Lyrics

It's a simple scene, we were just eighteen
Excited and scared of what lies ahead of us
And after dark, we'd be in North Beach Park
Debating Star Wars, or life after death and just

Sitting, and laughing, and loving where we were
Kissing, and crying. That's when we heard

There were cicadas, there were cicadas in the air
Yes, there were cicadas, there were cicadas in the air
Hmm, there were cicadas, there were cicadas in the air
That summer, that summer, that summer

There were cicadas, there were cicadas in the air
Yes, their sound was music. It blew with wind through our hair
There were cicadas, there were cicadas in the air
That summer, God I love that summer

I left for Auburn; she went to LSU
We kept in touch, but more and more, less and less
We came back to Fairhope in early June
