Not long ago When I traveled below the state line Bound for a town Where the water was changing to wine I was looking for something to see When the shadow came down over me Like a hole in the light On the day that the night took the sky In July In July
Sight without sound I fell back on the ground where I lay Watching and waiting And hoping in vain it would stay While the children were out in the street And the taxis hid under the trees Afraid of the light On the day that the night took the sky In July In July
Though I knew all along what to do It was clear as it faded from view I had damaged my sight On the day that the night took the sky In July In July
