Hi All,

This is called August Was Her Name.


August was her name
She said it like a fact
Like something you don’t choose
Like weather or a past
She stood outside the diner
Counting change and time
Said, I don’t mind the waiting
If I’m not already behind

She had a map with coffee rings
And towns she skipped on purpose
A letter never finished
From a man who tried to help her
She laughed when I asked her
Like I’d missed the point again
Said, some things don’t need fixing
They just need to end

That was all I knew
That was all she gave
Some people pass right through
August was her name

August was her name
She left before the heat broke
Left a note on the dashboard
And a song half-spoke
The radio was talking
About a fire somewhere west
I drove until the daylight
Did what I could with the rest

I saw her once in passing
By a river down the line
She looked right through me
Like I was another time
I don’t say that I lost her
I don’t say I was brave
I just say I remember
August was her name

That was all I knew
That was all she gave
Some people pass right through
August was her name

That was all I knew
That was all she gave
Some people pass right through
August was her name
