lyrics

August Sun
They lay there each morning and watched the dawn
In the cold August sun kept each other warm
Tangled in bedclothes and sleepy eyed
Time standing still and the world outside

Long days they lay there and plan their way
Never quite making the bed today
Kissing her forehead, stroking her hair
Singing to her as she’s lying there

But time has a way of changing things
No one can guess what the future brings
She woke one morning to find he'd gone
She lay there beside him and cried til dawn

Winter crept by and each morning came
But that cold August sun could not ease the pain
Nobody held her or touched her hair
Or kissed her awake as she’s sleeping there

And yet she can still hear his words each day
Still see his face and his gentle way
But the days are so long and the nights so cold
The price for living - is growing old.
