I saw the sun, though it didn't shine Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time No wind to blow the silver leaves The drone of clever talk just stopped The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought Away from me And the sky colored heavy gray August day Stir the dust and carve a rhyme Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime Will a smile break through Distant thunder and the slow dance Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance And say that I love you And the sky colored heavy gray August day
