summer guest

my bird flies home from afar

brings the joy of spring to me

o'er the ocean's endless blue

he never fails

his path is clear and true

perched upon a branch of green

he rests his legs from the long journey

warms my heart with one true song

i listen close

to tales of battles won

from my heart i thank you friend for this precious melody

for these sweet and pure tones

sweet and pure tones

when the autumn comes again

i ask you from my heart

my friend

that you'll help me sing your song

oh

summer guest

i'll miss you while you're gone. from my heart i thank you friend for this precious melody

for these sweet and pure tones

sweet and pure tones

you made a shelter for my soul if your language i could speak

i would weave a song for you of my own
