"Dear August" lyrics

Slowly
Why's the morning come so slowly
When I got no one to hold me through the dark?

Patient
They tell me that love is patient
But it never wants to wait on my drunk heart

So I take all of my, all of my, all of my
Wasted love
And turn it into wine, into wine, into wine
In my cup

Oh, dear August
Tell me that there's light
At the end of all this starless night

Dear August
Please don't let me fall
'Cause I don't know
Where this road is headed anymore

Fading
Now the summer heat is fading
I spend every evening praying for the dawn

Save me
Looking for someone to save me
Give me everything you gave me but your scorn

So I take all of my, all of my, all of my
Wasted love
And turn it into wine, into wine, into wine
In my cup

Whoa, dear August
Tell me that there's light
At the end of all this starless night

Dear August
Please don't let me fall
'Cause I don't know
Where this road is headed anymore

Oh, dear August
Oh no, oh August
Oh no, no, dear August
Oh no, oh, August

Dear August
Tell me that there's light
At the end of all this starless night

Dear August
Please don't let me fall
'Cause I don't know
Where this road is headed anymore
