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...
