Hello
A late entry for the Exotic/Erotic Spring Quest.
I recently read this
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43450715-the-last-days-of-august The lovely Vicki
@CaliaMoko was kind enough to check the lyrics over for me and provided the dreamy backing vocals too :-*
The Last Day Of August
Her star shines so bright that
her wings become undone
August's been sailing
too close to the sun
The lights are going out now
all over Gristle Town
and the one time that she needs them to
no one lets her down
There'll be holidays and homecomings
sunshine in our hair
but it won't feel like summer
if August isn't there
A sigh carried off
on a stiffening breeze
and tears fall like rain through
the branches of the trees
Gonna make it back to Sherbrooke
no matter what it takes
if it's only as a whisper
and ashes on the lake
There'll be holidays and homecomings
sunshine in our hair
but it won't feel like summer
if August isn't there
A friend of mine - Simon Dent - played me a little 4-chord clip he'd recorded on his phone...and I promised/threatened to make a song of it. The lyrics took a while to dredge up...it's a pretty tragic story, bless her.
