10 May 02 - 12:14 PM (#708235) Subject: August is a wicked month From: Mrrzy Hi, not sure who I had this by, but it's stuck in my memory - it's the one that goes August is a wicked month, it leaves the lost alone When autumn comes the season turns The pain of leaving starts to burn Reality we start to learn from love in the tall, tall grass / August is a wicked month romances spring and die... something something? Help? The refrain is about love in the tall tall grass, but each verse starts with August is a wicked month - so the title might be love in the tall tall grass, now that I think about it. Thanks in advance... |

But I can't find the lyrics anywhere... and it IS called Tall Tall Grass, not August is a wicked month. What's up with y'all, it's been MINUTES already!?! (*BG*) |

"The John Hartford Song Book" was published in 1971 by Glaser Publications, Inc., Nashville.

17 May 02 - 10:07 PM (#712668) Subject: Lyr Add: THE TALL, TALL GRASS (John Hartford) From: Jacob B I get to post the lyrics, after everyone has had a whole week to beat me to it? I'm amazed, and glad I can help. From the album Gentle On My Mind: Now August is a wicked month Of pleasure yet so bad Escape from all the hopes and fears A time to laugh, a time for tears And run away from the rest of the year And love in the tall, tall grass. The August sun's a wicked sun It tans the cheek and leg It warms your soul and body and It stills the tiny voice within That warns in vain against your sin And love in the tall, tall grass. Now August is a wicked month It leaves the lost alone A hand outstretched, a fleeting smile Come hither now and stay awhile And love will warm this lonely child Down here in the tall, tall grass. Now August is a wicked month Romances spring and die When autumn comes, the season turns The pain of leaving starts to burn Reality we start to learn From love in the tall, tall grass. |
