From The Midnight Special 1978. The album was Along the Red Ledge, music by Daryl Hall and lyrics by Sara Allen of Sara Smile fame.
August Day
I saw the sun, though it didnt shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the slow dance
Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance
And say that I love you
And the sky colored heavy gray
August day

Barley making it into the 70s thread, the rock group Mountain and their hit Mississippi Queen. Ozzy did a cover of it on his Under Cover album but this is the original.
