When July and then August came a quiet girl and strain
She drifted in on the midnight wind and never told her name
But I had no need for questions when she gave her love to me
I knew that I would always wanna be
In the arms of August waiting for the dawn
Lying there beside her wrapped in August warm
She was autumn golden like the falling leaves
And it was heaven holding August close to me
[ strings + guitar ]
Now the sun won't warm the frozen sky and I feel like crying
A love that runs from winter winds can leave a body dying
If I could just call August band and listen to her sing
Winter then would seem like early spring
In the arms of August...
