Bob Geldof August Was A Heavy Month Lyrics

August Was A Heavy Month Lyrics

I'll take another photograph



Before the old one fades



It reminds me of those things that past



And quickly passed away



But it comes on in the early night



Creeping up on you



Those scenes of devastation



Crushing down on cue



These days are growing colder now



The light is growing dim



August was a heavy month



And now the nights are drawing in



Poor Baby Blue's wrapped up again



Inside her final pain



I'd help her if I could I say



She puts us all to shame



Alright, alright I know I've got a lot



Left to answer for



But am I the only one to blame



And anyway who's keeping score



But the grass seems so much brighter now



She's spilled her blood again



August was a heavy month



Wash it down September rain







Baby Blue picks up her life tonight



And rushes for the Chelsea train



All the stars shine down on her tonight



And August was a heavy month







The photograph is cracked and torn



From being picked up, put down



Like some holy relic



Whose worshippers are found



Searching through their sacred books



For the holy grail of "why"



But the total sum of knowledge



Knows no more than you or I



Alright, alright says Baby Blue



Who doesn't really understand



August was a heavy month



But winter came at last.
