Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The summer wind came blowing in from across the sea
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
[Bridge]
Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flying 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, I lost you to the summer wind
[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
The summer wind
