[Verse 1]
A summer day is gone
Listen to the evening wind
Singing tunes of tamarind
Into the setting sun
You lie in twilight sleep
Dreaming colors deep
Today all life is gone

[Verse 2]
Look at the golden chalice
Plight broken on the ground
Green fire blazin' 'round
Where are your friends
You see all hope
Lying broken on a slope
Today all life is gone

[Verse 3]
Have you ever listened to the evening wind
To the gentle breeze and its thoughts
Have a listen and you will see, my friend
Wind is telling you a truth
