I go each summer Trying to find a dream But it is gone It's not a dream, it is the past Longing for pictures dressed in green I know they are false The future is not made of pictures The wind will blow The future will show it if was alright It's all right with me You see it grow And I will put up all my strength And set me free Whatever sets me free Like water Then I see you coming Like winter's Copacabana See you coming Like winter's Copacabana Sometimes I meet a friend Someone who shows me That reasons are born again Fearing still the winter dark and cold While I am working Forgetting again About those reasons The wind will blow The future will show it if was alright It's all right with me You see it grow, And I will put up all my strength And set me free Whatever sets me free Like water It looks like I have escaped And I'm feeling good But it is an illusion I'll have to tell it to his face I would say I can't be what he wants There's another story That's waiting To be completed The wind will blow The future will show If it was alright It's all right with me You see it grow And I will bring up all my strength And set me free Whatever sets me free Like water Then I see you coming Like winter’s Copacabana I see you coming Like the tide you're moving And a breeze from the seaside Follows where you're walking And I feel like morning To the strangest life And I see you coming My Copacabana
