Lyrics
FADING AUGUST MOON
VERSE ONE
I can see the home light burning.
It?s burning in my brain.
I?m miles and miles from anywhere
How much time will remain?
I?ve got to keep on moving, getting closer, going nowhere.
The road before me lies beneath a FADING AUGUST MOON
CHORUS
How goes the fight?
It?s a long lonely road from darkness to light
Home again, hearth again, almost there
Lost forever, finally somewhere.
VERSE TWO
All the things that I remember
They might as well be a dream
I can?t think of anyplace where things
Are just as they seem
I?ve got to keep on moving, getting closer, going nowhere.
How can I be so far away with home so close at hand?
REPEAT CHORUS
Instrumental Break:
REPEAT CHORUS
Last time: Repeat last two lines
