August Day Lyrics

August Day lyrics

(Words by Sara Allen



 Music by Daryl Hall)



 



 I saw the sun, though it didn't shine



 Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time



 No wind to blow the silver leaves



 The drone of clever talk just stopped



 The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought



 Away from me



 	And the sky colored heavy gray



 	August Day



 Stir the dust and carve a rhyme



 Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime



 Will a smile break through



 Distant thunder and the slow dance



 Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance



 And say that I love you



 	And the sky colored heavy gray



 	August Day
