August Winds (Original Broadway Cast)

By Sting (2013)
On album The Last Ship (Deluxe) (2013)

The Last Ship (Deluxe)
August winds are turning
The fishing boats set out upon the sea
I watch till they sail out of sight
The winter follows soon
I watch them drawn into the night
Beneath the August moon

And no one knows I come here
Some things I don't share
I can't explain the reason why
It moves me close to tears
Or something in the season's change
Will turn my head
And find me wandering here

And in my public moments
I here the things I say
But they're not me
Perhaps I'll know before I die
Admit that there's a reason why
I count the boats returning from the sea
I count the boats returning from the sea

Mhmm mmm mhmm
There once was a boy who said he loved me
