I Can’t Hear My Parents Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear caterpillars crawling Through the grass so late at night I hear the earthworms wiggling In the early morning light I can hear grasshoppers walking On their feet so light and small But no matter what I'm doing I can't hear my parents call [Chorus] I can't hear my parents call Though they call out loud and clear They can shout until they're hoarse It will never reach my ears If they're shouting in the summer If they're screaming in the fall Any season, any reason I can't hear my parents call [Verse 2] I can always hear the secrеts That my parents try to keep I can hear them latе at night When they think that I'm asleep When they're whispering in the basement I can hear them in the hall But when they want to get me I can't hear my parents call [Chorus] I can't hear my parents call Though they call out loud and clear They can shout until they're hoarse It will never reach my ears If they're shouting in the summer Screaming in the fall Any season, any reason I can't hear my parents call [Guitar and Fiddle Solo] [Verse 3] They took me to the doctor She wired up my ears I heard the softest sound That anyone could hear She gave me a certificate It's hanging on my wall It says my ears are great I just can't hear my parents call [Chorus] I can't hear my parents call Though they call out loud and clear They can shout until they're hoarse It will never reach my ears If they're shouting in the summer Screaming in the fall Any season, any reason I can't hear my parents call [Chorus] I can't hear my parents call Though they call out loud and clear They can shout until they're hoarse It will never reach my ears If they're shouting in the summer Screaming in the fall Any season, any reason I can't hear my parents call
