I felt it all The holes are burning Still I hold my throat And I'm watching All the laughing Pass me by If I could just Turn the clock back

All this time's left me Feeling jaded I nearly lost my mind Let me stay here One more moment Buried

Broken glass from Window panes feel Down on my back yard And I cut my feet Got dirt ground In the wound If there's such thing As a payback

How high's the price on my head?

I said August is all that I know
It’s with me wherever I go
It’s with me when I need a friend
It brings me good weather
It keeps me together
It picks me up when I’m down

Good evenings I love you I do
I share all my dinings with you
But I can’t help but wondering why
You are so good to me
You do good things for me
You pick me up when I’m down

August they’re bowling, latchkey son holding
August you knew it was true
August with laughter, trust us days after
August you knew it was true
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
August by firelight now you can confide
August you knew it was true
August with pipelines, second world war files
August you knew it was true
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose
One for you Anna and one for you Anna to choose

august
i'll see you soon
under yellow moons
where i'll gather what's left of you

and august
i'm on your side
or did i speak to soon?
now we've crossed the great divide

someday we'll meet beyond the stars
and it'll be away from here
someday we'll meet beyond the time and the bars
and it will be away from here

august
august of last year
before the leaves disappeared
told me you were not the one

august
something in your eyes
or was it that you lied?
told me not to take it to heart

someday we'll meet beyond the stars
and it will be away from here
someday we'll meet beyond the limits of who we are
and it will be away from here

someday we'll meet beyond the stars
and it'll be away from here
someday we'll meet beyond the land that you call miles away
away from here
