Thoughts of grilled cheese and dancing bears
People walkin’ round without cares
Volkswagens and a city of tents
River of people that never relents

June and July are the best times of year
But every August always brings tears

Be good family I can still hear you say
The notes you hit move me to this day
Sugar Magnolia and Eyes of the World
Sun-glistening children happily twirled

June and July are the best times of year
Every August always leaves me in tears

Take me back
Can’t you take me back
When life was love
And we were free
Won’t you take me
Take me

Dead Creek, Shoreline and Filmore West
Bill Graham, Tim Leary and his acid tests
Turtles dancing through streets of Haight
Barefoot children left crying in the wake

June and July are the best times of year
But every August always brings tears
