From the recording August (Acoustic)
Lyrics
August (Acoustic)
Nights so hot, the days so long
Thought our love would still be strong
How could I have been so wrong? You played me like a summer song!
Underneath the stars at night
Wish I may, I wish I might
Find a way to make things right, direct us toward the light!
August linger if you must
I’m sure that autumn will adjust
But I … I … I … I … I … I am moving on!
Dog days drag, cicadas drone
Make me feel so far from home
Guess I really should have known, I’d only end up on my own!
Not the perfect summer’s end
But given time our hearts will mend
Then all my love to you I’ll send, if only on the wind!
August linger if you must
I’m sure that autumn will adjust
But I … I … I … I … I … I am moving on!
Another romance slips away,
They told me nothing gold could stay.
There’s really nothing left to say,
When gold has turned to gray!
August linger if you must
I’m sure that autumn will adjust
But I … I … I … I … I … I am moving ...
August linger if you must
I’m sure that autumn will adjust
But I … I … I … I … I … I am moving on!
