Words and music by Gwynn Torres and Sid Berger
                                           
VERSE:
Another summer evening, just as warm as it can be.
The rays of sun poke through the shade of the silver maple tree
I’m sitting on the porch, just the way we liked to do
And like a gentle breeze, my thoughts all lead to you.
                                          
VERSE:
Neighbors driving by, rushing homeward for the night
Joggers pass by sweating in this final fading light
People all around me as the sun begins to set
But I’m about as lonely now as I could get.
                   
CHORUS:
I've got the sweet cicada blues. 
Sitting outside, steamin’ hot, getting’ in lost in, sweet cicada blues
I've got the sweet cicada blues
Sitting outside, steamin’ hot, getting’ in lost in, sweet cicada blues
                            
And my missing you is regular as yesterday’s news
Such an ache in my heart, like a giant purple bruise

I've got the sweet cicada blues
Sitting outside, steamin’ hot, getting’ in lost in, sweet cicada blues (REPEAT)
                       
BRIDGE:
And I feel you in my heart, as the dusk begins to dwell.
How you’d bring home the joy in every day’s farewell.
I hear you in the shadows every time I close my eyes
Tellin’ me that everything's gonna be alright.
                   
VERSE:
When I tune out all but you, you feel so very near
Whispering what I know you’d say, if you were really here.
Telling me to stand up strong, just the way you would
Cause no matter what, you’re part of me for good.                                                                     

REPEAT CHORUS
