(Into Weather Report Suite Part I) 

             
Winter rain, n

            
ow tell me why


,
              
Summers fade, 

         
and roses die.

 The answer
          
came, the wind

         
 and rain.

|  -  - |  -  - |

             
Golden hills, 

              
now veiled in 

   
grey,
              
Summer leaves 

             
have blown awa

y. Now what
          
remains? The w

            
ind and rain.

|  -  - |  -  - |

            
And like a des

        
ert spring,
             
My lover comes

         
 and spreads h

er wings.
             
Knowing, like 

   
a song that's 

born to soar t

he sky,
             
Flowing, flowi

     
ng 'til the wa

ters all are d

ry,
             
Growing, the l


oving in her e

yes.
