Isakov, Gregory Alan - August Clown Lyrics






August clown's a saint
and I just figured out why
I've been walking through the sand
with just you on my mind
and all that's left of the summer sky
is the moment you're flying by
there's things a boy can never tell
know you by your hands too well [2x]

Damn you from this wretched boy
you've stolen more than sleep and joy
an' I'm goin' back where I belong
where the time is right and straight and slow
going back where I belong
just to watch them thistles grow

August skin's left golden brown
and I've seen too much of this lonely town
too much thinking walking 'round
too much talking August clown [2x]

Damn you from this wretched boy
you've stolen more than sleep and joy
I'm going back where I belong
where the time is straight and right and slow
going back where I belong
just to watch them thistles grow...

  1. P.... F....

    what does he mean by "August clown's a saint" ? i don't get the metaphore

    P.... F....

    The shallow person we see such as clown could has deeper thoughts, pain and struggle that a boy cannot see, on entertaining the audience, he is depressed af.

    August Clown"

    August clown's a saint
    and I just figured out why
    I've been walking through the sand
    with just you on my mind
    and all that's left of the summer sky
    is the moment you're flying by
    there's things a boy can never tell
    know you by your hands too well [2x]

    Damn you from this wretched boy
    you've stolen more than sleep and joy
    an' I'm goin' back where I belong
    where the time is right and straight and slow
    going back where I belong
    just to watch them thistles grow

    August skin's left golden brown
    and I've seen too much of this lonely town
    too much thinking walking 'round
    too much talking August clown [2x]

    Damn you from this wretched boy
    you've stolen more than sleep and joy
    I'm going back where I belong
    where the time is straight and right and slow
    going back where I belong
    just to watch them thistles grow...
