AUGUST MOON

AUGUST MOON

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

THE SUMMER DAYS ARE FADING

THE LEAVES ALREADY TAKING

ONE LAST BREATH OF GREEN

ENDLESS SUMMER

SOMETHING I'VE HEARD

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN

WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS

IN HUSHED SILENCE

EVERY-BODIES GONE

I THINK OF ALL THE SUMMERS PAST

AND HOW MUCH SHORTER NOW

THEY SEEM

I THINK TO A TIME WHEN

DAYS SEEMED TO NEVER END

FINALLY GIVING WAY TO THE STARS

THERE WE WERE

FINDING OUT WHO WE ARE

WE LIVED A LIFETIME IN A DAY

COULDN'T FIND US

WE WERE GONE AWAY

TOUCHING LOVE

AUGUST MOON

IF SHE WON'T

SHE WILL SOON

SUMMER ENDS

YOU FIND HER GONE

YOU'VE GOT THAT LOOK

AGAIN IN YOUR EYES

NIGHTS SAT

WONDERING WHY

STARING INTO THE FLAMES

YOU'RE NEVER THE SAME

WAY TWICE

BUT THE FIRST TIMES

ALWAYS NICE

I CROSSED THE OCEANS

I WATCHED EACH SUMMER

DYING WITH DISMAY

A COLD OCTOBER MOON

 COMES SHINING

THE SKY DIVIDES

MAYBE I SHOULD BE

ON THE OTHER SIDE

IN THAT

ENDLESS SUMMER LIGHT

TRYING TO GET THERE

BUT SOMETIMES

I LOSE SIGHT

SOMETIMES YOU GET

TO BE A STAR

OTHER TIMES

A SUN RAY

THAT'S WHO YOU ARE

YOU JUST NEED TO SHINE
