Summer Wind
Roger Williams His Piano And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
The autumn wind, and the winter winds they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
The summer wind
The song "Summer Wind" by Roger Williams His Piano and Orchestra tells the story of two sweethearts who spend the summer together by the seaside. The opening lines describe the arrival of the "summer wind" from across the sea, which lingers around them as they take walks on the beach, sing songs, and enjoy each other's company. The singer compares their carefree days to "painted kites," suggesting a colorful, playful, but ultimately fleeting quality to their time together. As the summer begins to draw to a close, the wind begins to call to the female partner in the relationship, and the singer reveals that he has lost her to the wind. The subsequent seasons come and go, but he still sings his lullabies to the memory of those summer days with his "fickle friend," the summer wind.
The lyrics of "Summer Wind" evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, with the singer expressing a deep sense of grief over the loss of his summer romance. The imagery of the painted kites and blue umbrella sky evoke a sense of carefree joy, but ultimately the song is about the passage of time and the loss of something precious. The music itself is similarly melancholic, with its slow and lush orchestration providing a sense of emotional depth and complexity to the lyrics.

The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea
The warm breeze of the summer came from faraway oceans
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
It stayed a little longer to brush your hair and accompany us on our walk
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Throughout the season, we sang a melody and walked on the golden beach together
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
The two of us and the warm summer breeze were all there, feeling the love
Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flyin' by
Time passed by so quickly, just like colorful flying kites in the sky
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Under the vast blue sky, the world seemed brand new and full of possibilities
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
One day, the summer wind's gentle voice caught your attention
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
Sadly, I lost you to the warm breeze of the summer season
The autumn wind, and the winter winds they have come and gone
The colder winds of autumn and winter have already passed
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
However, the lonely days seem to continue without end
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
It's me, the one who still sings sad lullabies all night long
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind, my unpredictable companion
The summer wind
The warm breeze of the summer season
Warm summer wind
The soft, comforting summer breeze
