lyrics

VERSE 1
Oh, August
Why do you treat me like you do
Oh, August
What did I ever do to you?
Oh, August
You seem to think it's only right to make me feel so wrong
Oh, August
At least we're just one more month long

CHORUS
Scream until
my voice is strained and shrill
'cause though I sweat beneath
the sun, I'll dance beneath the moon
Tonight and then
Our seeds will grow again
'cause though the soil's dry
the rain is comin' back real soon

VERSE 2
Oh, August
Can't handle you for too much more
Oh, August
What hell do you still have in store
Oh, August
Just being near you makes me feel like I can't do a thing
But, August
Your heat is finally fading

CHORUS
Scream until
my voice is strained and shrill
'cause though I sweat beneath
the sun, I'll dance beneath the moon
Tonight and then
Our seeds will grow again
'cause though the soil's dry
the rain is comin' back real soon

VERSE 3
Oh, August
I'm gone again and maybe now
Oh, August
I'll truly stay away somehow
Oh, August
I'm still afraid that you are gonna come around again
But, August, if you do
that won't be now, but only then
