Cicada Haze

[Chorus] July cicadas drone so loud Beneath the sun, a hazy shroud Down the street, the tar is soft Dragonflies I count aloft On the pavement, warm and bright Lost in summer's fading light [Verse] Old post office, standing still By the plane trees, on the hill Wooden bench, still damp with dew After rain, a faded hue Rusty bell on Phoenix bike Memories I truly like [Pre-Chorus] Grandma's laundry on the line Floral prints, a sweet design Cotton cloth, a gentle sway Chasing all my blues away [Chorus] July cicadas drone so loud Beneath the sun, a hazy shroud Down the street, the tar is soft Dragonflies I count aloft On the pavement, warm and bright Lost in summer's fading light [Bridge] Powdered chalk on concrete ground Jumping squares, a joyful sound Sticky fingers, sweet ice cream Living out a childhood dream Sweat and sugar, sun-baked days Caught in time's nostalgic haze [Verse] Afternoon, the shadows creep Secrets that the town will keep Empty streets, a quiet hum Waiting for the dusk to come Every corner holds a trace Of a long-forgotten place [Pre-Chorus] Grandma's laundry on the line Floral prints, a sweet design Cotton cloth, a gentle sway Chasing all my blues away [Chorus] July cicadas drone so loud Beneath the sun, a hazy shroud Down the street, the tar is soft Dragonflies I count aloft On the pavement, warm and bright Lost in summer's fading light [Outro]
