33rd of August
Gordon Lightfoot
| _ _ _ |_ _ Today there's no salvation, the band's packed up and gone I'm standing with my penny in my hand There's a big crowd at the station, where the blind man sings his song But he can see what they can't understand It's the thirty third of August And I'm finally touching down Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound Lord I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees A thousand voices screaming in my brain I woke up in the jungle, but the forest and the trees Offered me no shelter from the rain It's the thirty third of August And I'm finally touching down Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | I put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain I killed my violent nature with a smile Though the de-mons danced and sang their songs within my fe-vered brain Not all my god-like thoughts Lord were defiled It's the thirty third of August And I'm finally touching down Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |!
