Cicadas
I will meet you in the summertime
When the winter winds have blown away
We'll be dancing by the riverside
to the music the cicadas play
Though the winter may be long tonight
In the morning, we will go to where the skies can hold our love
and I will meet you in the summertime
yes, I will meet you in the summertime.
We will find it in the summertime
While we're dancing in the morning sky
While we're climbing along the fire trail
While we're riding with the fireflies
We have witnessed too much suffering
and the fear, like a cloud, has thrown a shadow on our love
But we will find it in the summertime,
yes, I believe we'll find it in the summertime.
We won't remember in the summertime
how the winter made us feel alone
how the darkness made us invisible
how the cold nights drove us far from home
Cause everything will be a story soon
and the pain, like a dream will disappear into the fog.
We won't remember in the summertime
No, we will not remember in the summertime
We must hold on until the summertime,
Cause we will not remember in the summertime.
