The summer wind came blowin' in across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair, and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and strolled the golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind

Like painted kites the days and nights went flyin’ by
The world was new beneath the 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 winds have come and gone
And 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
The summer wind, the summer wind
