Indian Summer
Lucky Thompson with Gérard Pochonet and his Orchestra Lyrics

The song "Indian Summer" by Lucky Thompson with Gérard Pochonet and his Orchestra is a beautiful tribute to the fleeting nature of summer love. The lyrics describe summer as an "old Indian Summer," suggesting a certain wisdom and experience that comes with the passing of time. The personification of summer as a tear that comes after the laughter of June is poignant, suggesting that it is in the bittersweet realization of summer's end that one truly appreciates the beauty of the season.

The lyrics go on to describe the many dreams that are born in the early days of summer, when everything seems possible and the future is full of promise. However, these dreams often do not come true, as the realities of life set in and love fades away. Summer is then personified as a guardian, watching over those whose hearts have been broken by love that was never meant to be. The ghost of a romance that went astray, summer lingers on, reminding us of what might have been.

In the end, the lyrics bid farewell to Indian Summer, acknowledging that all good things must come to an end, but also suggesting that its passing is not without sadness. The song is a beautiful tribute to the fleeting nature of love and the transience of life itself.
