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
In the blue August moon (blue moon)
In the cool August moon (cool moon)
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
The blue August moon (blue moon)
In the cool August moon (cool moon)
Then we rested in a desert
Where the bones were white as teeth, son
And we saw St. Elmo's Fire
Splitting ions in the ether
(Blue moon)
(Cool moon)
In the blue August moon (blue moon)
In the cool August moon (cool moon)
In the cool August moon (cool moon)
In the cool August moon (cool moon)
