August Day - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Along The Red Ledge

August Day

(Words by Sara Allen

Music by Daryl Hall)

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 suppertime

Will a smile break through

Distant thunder and the slow dance

Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance

And say that I love you

And the sky colored heavy gray

August Day
