St. Elmo's Fire

[Verse 1]

Brown Eyes and I were tired

We had walked and we had scrambled

Through the moors and through the briars

Through the endless blue meanders

[Refrain]

In the blue August moon

In the cool August moon

[Verse 2]

Over the nights and through the fires

We went surging down the wires

Through the towns and on the highways

Through the storms in all their thundering

[Refrain]

The blue August moon

In the cool August moon

[Verse 3]

Then we rested in a desert

Where the bones were white as teeth, sir

And we saw St. Elmo's Fire

Splitting ions in the ether

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

In the blue August moon

In the cool August moon

In the cool August moon

In the cool August moon

[Instrumental Outro]
