Jim Ed Brown Arms Of August Lyrics

Arms Of August Lyrics

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...
