lyrics

the crickets sigh: bye everything bye

Bye Everything Bye

Do you sing in the summer light
Where everything flies, everything flies?
Do you sing through the summer night?
To the galaxy bright, galaxy bright

“It’s only now” sing the crickets, “now”
“Listen to the voice of Lao.”
Follow birds on their autumn flight
Everything’s right, everything’s right

So when it gets cold
And listless you lie
You seem to understand it’s time to die
The butterfly rose
High in the air
And said “Don’t love your life too much down there”
Then it vanished into the world

See the banks of the river rise
Where everything flies, everything flies
Creatures drink in the golden light
Beautiful sight, beautiful sight

The moon, it rolls through another life
Where insects speak
In the rush of night
Holding to this idea fast:
Nothing will last, nothing will last

So when it gets cold
And listless you lie
You seem to understand it’s time to die
The butterfly rose
High in the air
And said “Don’t love your life too much down there”
Then it vanished into the world

Everything bye, everything bye,
Listen to the crickets sigh
Everything bye, everything bye
