Lyrics August In Hammersmith - Robyn Hitchcock

August In Hammersmith

August in hammersmith
You don’t know who you’re with
You’re waiting for the sun, my love
The season of sharp dust
Has gone as go it must
The season of monsoon
Will be upon us soon, my love
Both men were bombardiers
Pale sirens tongued their ears
You were the smoking gun
Concealed by everyone, my love
But until the seas roll back, i’ll be there
I’ll be there
And now the rain it flails
Red tiles and fuller’s ales
The caterpillars hang
From where the doorbell rang, my love
Down fulham palace road
The fleshy buds explode
And if you fall to deep
You’ll find me in your sleep, my love
But until the seas roll back, i’ll be there
I’ll be there
Yes, until the seas roll back, i’ll be there
The sea is in your blood
And if the street should flood
Engorged by silver rains
The scent of you remains, my love
And in the top floor flat
He comes, he strokes your cat
You left the window wide
A flat leaf wafts inside, my love
But until the seas roll back, i’ll be there
I’ll be there
Yes, until the seas roll back, i’ll be there
August in hammersmith
You don’t know who you’re with
You’re waiting for the sun
You wait like everyone, my love
My love
My love
