F#
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

F#
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
D#m C# B
In the blue August Moon
D#m C# B
In the cool August Moon
F#
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
