Summerwind
Monty Alexander and John Patitucci Lyrics

The summer wind came blowin' in
The cool breeze that signals the start of the summer season has arrived

From across the sea
The wind came from far away, most likely from the ocean

It lingered there to touch your hair
The wind stayed a little longer to play with your hair, almost like it had a personality

And walk with me
The wind accompanied me everywhere I went during the summer season

All summer long
Throughout the entire summer season, from start to finish

We sang a song
We enjoyed the summer by singing happy songs and being carefree

And then we strolled that golden sand
We walked along the beautiful golden sand, enjoying the summer's warmth and natural beauty

Two sweethearts
We were a couple, in love and enjoying each other's company

And the summer wind
We were accompanied by the summer wind, which added to the beauty of our time together

Like painted kites, those days and nights
The summer days and nights felt gentle, beautiful and playful, like carefree painted kites blowing in the wind

They went flying by
The summer seemed to go by too quickly, passing us by like a bird flying away

The world was new
Everything felt fresh, new and beautiful during the summer season

Beneath the blue
The sky was a deep blue color, which added to the natural beauty of the summertime

Umbrella sky
Umbrellas were a common sight, providing shade and a sense of relief from the sun during the hot summer days

Then softer than
The wind gradually became softer and less intense

The piper man
The wind was like a piper man, calling out in a gentle way

One day, it called to you
The wind called out to my loved one in a subtle, yet captivating way

I lost you to
My loved one was taken away from me by the seduction of the wind

The summer wind
The summer wind had ultimately taken away my love

The autumn wind
The winds of autumn have arrived, signaling the end of summer

And the winter wind
The winter season has now arrived, and the winds are cold and frigid

They have come and they have gone
The seasons have come and gone, marking the passage of time

And still the days
Despite the change in seasons, the days continue to pass by

Those lonely days
The days without my love now seem lonely and sad

Go on and on
These lonely days seem to continue endlessly

And guess who sighs a lullaby
I am the one who sings a soft, sweet melody to soothe myself through the lonely nights

To nights that never end?
These nights without my love never seem to end, and the loneliness seems almost unbearable

My fickle friend,
The summer wind, which was once a friend, has now become fickle and unpredictable

The summer wind
The summer wind, which was once playful and enjoyable, is now a reminder of my lost love
