|
brown eyes and i was tired |
|
We had walked and we had scrambled |
|
Through the moors and through the briars |
|
Through the endless blue meanders. |
|
In the blue august moon |
|
In the cool august moon |
|
Over the nights and through the fires |
|
We went surging down the wires |
|
Through the towns and on the highways |
|
Through the storms in all their thundering. |
|
In the blue august moon |
|
In the cool august moon |
|
Then we rested in a desert |
|
Where the bones were white as teeth sir |
|
And we saw st elmo's fire |
|
Splitting ions in the ether. |
|
In the blue august moon |
|
In the cool august moon |
|
In the blue august moon |
|
In the cool august moon. |
