August Nights

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS,

I DROVE AN HOUR JUST TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE,

NERVOUS TALK, SWEATY PALMS,

WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL WRONG, IN FACT, IT FELT SO RIGHT WITH THE STARS IN THE SKY,

YOU SWORE YOU'D NEVER EVER SEEN THEM SHINE THAT BRIGHT.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRE BURNING AROUND US,

AND THE MOON RISING ABOVE US,

AND THE LOOK YOU GAVE ME THAT SHOT ME STRAIGHT TO THE SKY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE SLOW SONGS THAT WE WERE PLAYING, AND THE RISKY THINGS WE WERE SAYING,

OR THE WAY YOU PULLED ME IN TO KISS ME GOODBYE.

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS.
