August 7, 415 Lyrics

August 7, 415

[This song is dedicated to the memory of Katherine Korzilius.]

[Sometimes God calls His angels ... too soon.]



Ah... 

It was another day 

Perfect Texas afternoon 

Mother and two children play 

The way they always do 

As they raced home from the mailbox 

A mother and her son 

Against a little girl of six years old 

The independent one 



Ah... 

The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood 

They said I got some news to tell you folks 

I'm afraid it ain't so good 

Somehow something happened 

Someone got away 

Someone got the answers for what happened here today 

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no 



Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 



Now the people from the papers 

And the local TV news tried to find the reason 

Cop dogs sniffed around for clues 

Someone shouted "Hit and run" 

The coroner cried "Foul" 

Her blue dress was what she wore 

The day they laid her body down 

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no 



Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 

No... 



[Guitar solo]



I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill 

And no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever will 

Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed 

The flames are all around you 

How you gonna sleep again ? 

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no 



Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 



Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 

God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 

[ 4:15 to fade ]
