Rod Stewart - Tradewinds Lyrics
(macdonald / salter)Here I stand looking, looking around meWhile all around me what do I seeUnhappy faces behind a painted smileHeartache and loneliness dressed up in modern styleUnhappy people living in sin and shameReflections of myself, life is no easy gameWere caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeHere I stand looking, looking around meWhile all around me what do I seeYoung girls wholl soon becomeStreetwalkers in the nightYoung boys, the restless breedLooking for a fightChildren both rich and poorTheyre searching for the truthIf they dont find itGod help tomorrows youthWere caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeTrade winds are blowing, blowing around meWhile all around me what do I seeHatred and jealousyBrotherhood is dyingLove is the answerBut nobodys buyingGood people turning badSome dont but they are fewThe winds are blowingThe choice is all up to youWere caught in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeYes were caught up in the trade windsThe trade winds of our timeWe are riding on the trade windsThe trade winds of our time
