I saw the sun, though it didn't shine   Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time   No wind to blow the silver leaves      The drone of clever talk just stopped   The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought   Away from me      And the sky colored heavy gray   August Day      Stir the dust and carve a rhyme   Barefoot blues watch and wait till supper time   Will a smile break through      Distant thunder and the slow dance   Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance   And say, "I love you"      And the sky colored heavy gray   August Day   August Day      And the sky colored heavy gray   August Day   August Day
