lyrics

Walking through the neighborhood
My mind was lost in thought
When the buzz of the locusts
My listening ear they caught

They started up their tiny engines
With their delicate wings so clear
They brought me back to the present
The place that was always here

They appear in the summer
When the heat is rising strong
And if I hear and appreciate
My troubles seem to be gone

And if I listen very well
I can hear a symphony
Chirping birds and the locust buzz
Can set my mind at ease

Maybe I can leave this shell
Of my former self behind
When the final song is sung
At the end of summer time

They appear in the summer
And lost in thought I'll be
Until I'm filled with sound of nature
My burdens all set free

Under a pale orange sky
I hear them from afar
They won't devour all our years
If we remember what we are

So if you're walking down the street
And you wonder what happened to me
I've disappeared from my locust shell
Still stuck upon that tree

They appear in the summer
The heat is rising strong
And if I hear and appreciate
My troubles seem to be gone

They appear in the summer
I'll miss them when they're gone
When the leaves start changing
Their sound still lingers on and on and on
