Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brown Eyes and I were tired We had walked and we had scrambled Through the moors and through the briars Through the endless blue meanders [Refrain] In the blue August moon In the cool August moon [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] The blue August moon In the cool August moon [Verse 3] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] In the blue August moon In the cool August moon In the cool August moon In the cool August moon [Instrumental Outro]
