Cold Wind in August
[Verse 1]
I waited for you
You waited for me
Well, it seemed like
It seemed like a mighty long time
Baby, I had to have you
You know I had to have you
Come rain
Rain or shine
[Chorus]
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I would stand in your garden
In the California pine
[Verse 2]
I was standin' shiverin'
I got the fever in the rain
But I kept comin' back to see you
Again and again and again
I said I, I had to have you
Baby, I had to have you
Come rain, come rain
Or shine
[Chorus]
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I would stand in your garden
In the California pine
California pine
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I would stand in your garden
In the California pine
In the California pine
[Post-Chorus]
It was a cold wind in August
I was pushed on through September
And I was pushin' through September
In the rain
Pushin' through
Pushin' through September in the rain
Mmm
[Chorus]
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I would stand, stand in your garden
In the California pine
