lyrics

AUGUST

You sleep like a child
so trusting and deep
while I lean back into
a late night symphony

my felt tip scratching in the dark
with the noises of mice in the kitchen drawers
I can hear them from all the way down the hall
but I don’t mean them any harm

Oh, and it occurs to me
there are several sorts of peace
yours are wrapped up in your dreams
and mine is solitary

lying next to you
in the soft space of this room
I’ll whisper a tune
of yellows, pinks, and blues

of climbing the hills with oil pastels
and a box full of old newspapers
with people I love and the moon coming up
our hunger fully sated

CHORUS

see, even the power lines
cannot mar or hide
the beauty of the skyline
in this brilliant, fading light

and there in the gloaming the cattle are lowing
the grasses are blowing gently
bowing their heads with reverence
for the majesty of the heavens

CHORUS
