lyrics

Beautiful August – Emily Triggs

You open the kitchen drawer
like so many times before
Something makes you feel so far away
The trees are bowing down
peaches, cherries abound
I don’t want to end these barefoot days

Beautiful August
I don’t want to let you go
I’ll keep holding on
until summers gone
September winds start to blow

We’ll visit about our quieter days
laugh about our crazy ways
All we won and all we never knew
Tourists all disappear
Lonely streets as I stay here
No surprise that I’m left without you

Beautiful August
I don’t want to let you go
I’ll keep holding on
until summers gone
September winds start to blow

I will come and sit with you
we’ll talk like we used to do

Beautiful August
I don’t want to let you go
I’ll keep holding on
until summers gone
September winds start to blow
Beautiful August
I never want to let you go
I’ll keep holding on
until summers gone
September winds start to blow
