August Sunset
Written by LBM
From the album ?Songs from the north of the heart?

Verse 2 (as verse 1)
The birds above are singing sweet, the deep blue sea covers our feet
We will stand there arm in arm, and ride the waves strong, tall or calm
Everywhere I look I can see your face, sitting with a beer staring into space
Then it hits me right outta the blue, can?t deny I really want you
Can you tell me what more I need, your all I want coz mind is freed
It makes me think all night long,  loving you I can?t go wrong
