The Maple Street Project: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Running Out of August
Crossing over the line
Trying to do our best
But we’re running out of time

Keep on pressing onward
One step at a time
If we just keep on moving
It will all turn out just fine
Running out of August

Running out of August
The deadline’s now behind
You can blame it on September
Or the weakness of our minds

If you keep on looking backwards
It won’t get you anywhere
If you aren’t decisive
You won’t be here or there

Chorus
We are running out of August
When will we be there
It’s a teapot in a tempest
A lamb in a lion’s lair
Running out of August

The sand is running outward
It’s ebbing with the tide
The birds are flying southward
The frost is close behind

So why are we complaining
We’ve done much to pass the test
The sun’s out it isn’t raining
What’s a little cloudiness

Running Out of August
Running out of time
Running out of August
We’re out of our mind …
