Lyrics
Santana Nights
It’s the end of the summer
There’s a hot wind blowin off the land
Not a wave’s on the ocean
Just a ripplin ‘long the sands
Now (so) begins the long Santana nights--
Without her love, I’m so lonely
Without the touch of her fond embrace
She’s gone cross the country
Now my heart’s just an empty place
Now (so) begins the long Santana nights--
Without her love.
Refrain:
And late at night when I am lying awake
I hear her voice from time to time
Calling me back to those days of the summer
Two alone on a crowded beach
Hand in hand in the sunshine
Never dreaming it could ever cease
But now begins the long Santana nights--
Without her love.
Harmonica Interlude]
Repeat refrain (repeat “without her love” 2X)
