Hot August Night şarkı sözleri

the only things I'll get to keep are those lines on my face waves rolling on the shore the music they make mermaids doomed by the sea of tears they have cried secrets we once revealed the blue of your eyes and those hot august nights your voice echoed by the wind and how it disappeared hopes we tore limb from limb out of ignorance and fear spirits haunting my dreams the turning of the tide truth the fools sometimes speak the lures and the lies and those hot august nights those mad dogs that were sleeping in the corners of your soul woke up and started barking as if they knew that it was time to go by the pier, sirens howled sailors waved goodbye and I never thought I'd lose you on that hot august night no, I never thought I'd lose you on that hot august night I sit alone by the fire it's raining outside the Tennessee River is swollen there's peace in my heart everything now is different the tears have gone by they're flowing with the current under Alabama skies no, I never thought I'd lose you on that hot august night
