Summer, you old Indian Summer

You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter

You see so many dreams that don't come true

Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new

 

You are here to watch over

Some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken

You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray

Fading too soon, that's why I say

"Farewell   to you, Indian Summer"

 

<extended sax solo>

 

You are here to watch over

A heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken

You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray

Fading too soon, that's why I say

"Farewell   to you, Indian Summer"

 

You old Indian Summer
