WEATHER REPORT SUITE
(Weir / Andersen)
The Grateful Dead


Winter rain, now 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 away
Now what remains? The wind and rain.

And like a desert spring, 
My lover comes and spreads her wings, 
Knowing, like a song that's born to soar the sky, 
Flowing, flowing 'til the waters all are dry, 
Growing, the loving in her eyes.

Circle songs and sands of time, 
Seasons will end in tumbled rhyme,
And little change, the wind and rain.

And like a desert spring, 
My lover comes and spreads her wings,
Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky,
Flowing, Flowing 'til the rivers all are dry, 
Growing, the loving in her eyes.

Winter gray and falling rain, 
We'll see summer come again,
Darkness falls and seasons change 
(gonna happen every time).
Same old friends the wind and rain, 
(we'll see summer by and by)
Winter gray and falling rain, 
(summers fadeand roses die)
We'll see summer come again,
Like a song that's born to soar the sky.
