Summer Wind
Madeleine Peyroux


The summer wind
Came blowin' in
From across the sea
It lingered there
So warm and fair
To walk with me
All summer long
We sang a song
And strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts
And the summer wind

Like painted kites
Those days and nights went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue
Umbrella sky
Then softer than
A piper man, one day it called to you
And I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind
And the winter wind
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
