[00:22.34]August clown's a saint
[00:25.70]And I just figured out why
[00:31.02]I've been walking through the sand
[00:35.79]With just you on my mind
[00:40.15]And all that's left of the summer sky
[00:44.88]Is the moment you're flying by
[00:49.51]There's things a boy can never tell
[00:54.34]Know you by your hands too well
[00:59.09]2x
[01:23.94]D**n you from this wretched boy
[01:28.14]You've stolen more than sleep and joy
[01:31.69]An' I'm goin' back where I belong
[01:38.01]Where the time is right and straight and slow
[01:43.65]Going back where I belong
[01:48.38]Just to watch them thistles grow
[02:14.13]August skin's left golden brown
[02:17.55]And I've seen too much of this lonely town
[02:22.66]Too much thinking walking 'round
[02:27.25]Too much talking August clown
[02:31.64]2x
[02:36.58]D**n you from this wretched boy
[02:40.62]You've stolen more than sleep and joy
[02:43.81]I'm going back where I belong
[02:50.66]Where the time is straight and right and slow
[03:00.89]Going back where I belong
[03:04.88]Just to watch them thistles grow
