Summer Songs #5... The Summer Wind



The summer wind came blowin' in
From across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair
& walk with me

All summer long
we sang a song
& then we strolled that golden sand
2 sweethearts & the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days & nights
They went flying 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 I lost you to
The summer wind

The autumn wind
& the winter winds
They have come & gone
& still those days
Those lonely days
They go on and on
&  guess who sighs
His lullabies through nights that never end
My fickled friend,
The summer wind
The summer wind warm summer wind
The summer wind

Johnny Mercer
1965
