Lyrics:
What would you do
if I turned out the lights
gave the shadows to the room?
We're all creatures here and I'm curious
how the shapes change
when I quit clinging to edges.
I fall into you, August -
ease on, into darkness.
Where will you go
when you leave this tiny town
where the fruit litters the ground
I have crossed a mountain pass beside you now
thrown my arms into an autumn wind that howls
I do not turn away from this easily
August, will you remember me?
How could I stay
When summer slips away too fast
and prices rise on the wild west?
The northern pines persist to call my name
but I will not return unto the north the same
I swear on the dirt for the rest of my days
I will not forget the valley
to which the darkness came.
