August

His name was August

And he came in like a flood

He whirled around and round

And drowned me up in every kind of love

He took me over

He took me to the world

He took me in and out

And up until I was a different girl

That's not what I was told when

I learned how to love you

'Cause I was never taught that

Perfect love could end

He stands right beside me

But he's farther than the sun

But his light still keeps me warm

It still keeps me burned

That's not what I was told when

I learned how to love you

'Cause I was never taught that

Perfect love could end

And now that it's over

All I can seem to think

Is how to love someone

With every part of me

'Cause that's what I was told when

I learned how to love you

'Cause I was never taught that

Perfect love could end

That's not what I was told when

I learned how to love you

'Cause I was never taught that

Perfect love could end
