My dream of August fades again

As autumn's evening sits at the edge

Northern wind, dew on the grass

An orange sky of dying light

A little bit of gold in her quick smile

Under red bar lights

The lost nights of another lifetime

Now I only look back

The shine of early morning

And a restless soul

Where all the world is not quite awake

Still at the edge

And there is time and time

To think about the story

Pushing through the years

We grow old like it's a racе

We don't know when to stop and enjoy

But whеn it really is good

It's too fleeting

You can never catch it

Love is ice melting in hot July

You turn away too long, and it's already gone

So you're left to hold on

To the little pieces in your mind

Paint a picture, hope it lasts a while

I'm still searching for life and loving

The good ol' days again

Where the river runs deep

And the garden grows tall

Where she loves me slow and strong

In tall grass, her hair long

And I don't think twice about it all

So, look here at what this life of mine was like

In those trying years

Those mountains tall to climb

And I had so much to be

And I tried to be it all

But in the end

I found I'm happiest just being me

With a little love

Somewhere in between
