Vaya Con Dios - Hot August Night lyrics

rate me

(Music by Jay Conrad, lyrics by Dani Klein – Jay Conrad)

The only things I’ll get to keep

Are those lines on my face

Waves rolling on the shore

The music they make

Mermaids doomed by the sea

Of tears they have cried

Secrets we once revealed

The blue of your eyes

And those hot August nights

Your voice echoed by the wind

And how it disappeared

Hopes we tore limb from limb

Out of ignorance and fear

Spirits haunting my dreams

The turning of the tide

Truth the fools sometimes speak

The lures and the lies

And those hot August nights

Those mad dogs that were sleeping

In the corners of your soul

Woke up and started barking

As if they knew that it was time to go

By the pier, sirens howled

Sailors waved goodbye

And I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

No, I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

No, I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

I sit alone by the fire

It’s raining outside

The Tennessee River is swollen

There’s peace in my heart

Everything now is different

The tears have gone by

They’re flowing with the current

Under Alabama skies

No, I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

No, I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

No, I never thought I’d lose you baby

On that hot August night

No, I never thought I’d lose you

On that hot August night

<br />
