I had a love and my love was fair Fair as a summer's dawn I lost my love, I never knew where Suddenly she was gone The west wind's purple meadow The night she slipped away And I seem to glimpse her shadow When the west wind brushes the day West wind, can you waken my true love West wind, can you restore a new love Speak to her softly of the dream we lost The theme we lost, the gleam we lost West wind, can you call back an old love West wind, can you kindle a cold love West wind, can the magic of them become out once again Breathe on the amber If I try to remember Then some day at last we Can recapture the past
