Brown eyes and I was tired   We had walked and we had scrambled   Through the moors and through the briars   Through the endless blue meanders      In the blue August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)   In the cool August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)      Over the nights and through the fires   We went surging down the wires   Through the towns and on the highways   Through the storms in all their thundering      In the blue August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)   In the cool August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)      Then we rested in a desert   Where the bones were white as teeth sunk   And we saw St. Elmo's fire   Splitting ions in the ether      Ooh ooh ooh   Ooh ooh ooh      In the blue August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)   In the cool August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)      In the blue August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)   In the cool August moon   (Ooh ooh ooh)
