lyrics

Remember when we sat in the park
Together in the park till the sun went dark
Remember how we watched the waves from the docks
Smashing all the rocks underneath the boardwalk
Sky was bleeding dark red
And something inside me filled with so much dread

It was a strange night in August
It was a strange night it's true
A night that came underneath that blood red moon
A night I knew I was doomed

Remember how my head sank low
Down to my chest could hardly see the floor
Remember the lights shining through the trees
Fading so slowly as I fall to my knees
The sky was growing wide
And a swirling darkness was pulling me deep inside

It was a strange night in August
It was a strange night it's true
A night that came underneath that blood red moon
A night I knew I was doomed

Do you remember how it all went dark
On an ordinary night when I was stabbed in the park
I always said that things just end
As strangely and suddenly as things begin
As the sky lit up the dawn
I looked at you to make sure you were gone

It was a strange night in August
It was a strange night it's true
A night that came underneath that blood red moon
And I blame it all on you
You blame it all on me
