Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
August sun, a golden haze
Lingers soft through fading days
Little hands, stained berry deep
Secrets that the summer keeps
Whispers in the tall, green grass
Knowing soon this time will pass

[Chorus]
Purple stains on fingertips
A silent wish from silent lips
To hold the warmth, the sun, the light
One last dance before the night
August fields, a sweet farewell
A story only seasons tell

[Verse 2]
The scent of dust, the evening breeze
Rippling through the willow trees
Barefoot steps where clover grows
Every secret summer knows
Chasing fireflies in the dim
Till the last light fades from limb

[Chorus]
Purple stains on fingertips
A silent wish from silent lips
To hold the warmth, the sun, the light
One last dance before the night
August fields, a sweet farewell
A story only seasons tell

[Bridge]
Childhood moments, pure and free
A painting for eternity
Each berry picked, a memory bright
Carried onward through the night
Though summer's journey finds its close
The heart remembers how it glows

[Chorus]
Purple stains on fingertips
A silent wish from silent lips
To hold the warmth, the sun, the light
One last dance before the night
August fields, a sweet farewell
A story only seasons tell

[Outro]
Goodbye, sweet summer, soft and slow
The purple stains begin to go
But in the heart, a gentle hum
Till the next bright summer comes.
August's goodbye, a gentle sigh.
