I hear September knocking on the door
I left it open for the sun to get in
To float through my veins with its light
Making me dizzy with joy
I feel dizzy
August is fading
Time has passed like warm sand
Running through my fingers
I picked it up from the ocean
Now I throw it into the wind
Because August is fading
And I wonder how this could end
I wear a chain of flowers around my neck
I need to put it down,
I know that
When September's there
Things will need to change
'Cause that's what life's about
Life's about change
August is fading
Time has passed like warm sand
Running through my fingers
I picked it up from the ocean
Now I throw it into the wind
Because August is fading
And I wonder how this could end
There's a taste of melancholia
At the tip of my tongue
Still I'm aflame with euphoria
Until it is gone
I will cherish its sweet perfume
I will cherish its sweet perfume
I will cherish its sweet perfume
I will cherish your sweet perfume
August is fading
Time has passed like warm sand
Running through my fingers.
