The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter wind, they have come and gone
But still the days, those lonely days go on and on
But guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter wind, they have come and gone
But still the days, those lonely days go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
That summer wind
Warm, warm summer wind
Hmm, that summer wind
