Lyrics: Where did you go? I felt your warmth like the strong summer sun You had a smile that could heal everyone And then you took it all away I need your hand So I can lead you to a cool, green place Where in the shadows I can still see your face And let you know how much you're loved Can't you see? You were all I could need And the winter is tugging on my sleeve Now that August is gone And my days They all fall away Like the leaves that keep blowing down my street Now that August is gone Where did you go? I never thought I'd be here all alone And I keep praying I will find you at home And I am hating that I'm wrong I feel the pain And it is biting like the cold of the snow And in my heart where all your love used to grow Well, I cannot find the spring Can't you see? You were all I could need Now the winter is tugging on my sleeve Now that August is gone And my days They all fall away Like the leaves that keep blowing down my street Now that August is gone Oh, oh Oh, oh link: According to a friend of Rory's mother, Rory "was an amazing person who brought great joy to so many.
