Tradewinds (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

(MacDonald / Salter)

Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me what do I see
Unhappy faces behind a painted smile
Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style
Unhappy people living in sin and shame
Reflections of myself, life is no easy game
We’re caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me what do I see
Young girls who’ll soon become
Streetwalkers in the night
Young boys, the restless breed
looking for a fight
Children both rich and poor
They’re searching for the truth
If they don’t find it
God help tomorrow’s youth
We’re caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me
While all around me what do I see
Hatred and jealousy
Brotherhood is dying
Love is the answer
But nobody’s buying
Good people turning bad
Some don’t but they are few
The winds are blowing
The choice is all up to you
We’re caught in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Yes we’re caught up in the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds
The trade winds of our time

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

This song was first released on the i want to live album. it is the only album it has been released on.

Ridin’ on a tradewind
Fillin’ my sails with a soft and southerly breeze
Livin’ on the ocean blue

Dreaming’ of the islands
Rappin’ myself in the glow of a tropical moon
I never shiver when the sun goes down

All the earth she sings to me
Every shallow, every tree
Surely my loves shining like the sea

I can make you happy
If i can i’ll take you away on a wave in my arms
Never leave you on the edge all alone

If you feel like dancin’
Rollin’ like the water across my sleepless night
Makin me a peaceful place

All my life to be with you
All i ever want to do
Knowing you are feeling that way too

Distant thunder, heavy seas
Rocky mountain memories
Surely i was lost till i found thee

Ye ye ye
