Rod Stewart – Trade Winds Lyric

aus dem Album A Night On The Town

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 so 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 will soon become…]

Young girls who'll soon become…]

[Walkers of the avenue.]

Streetwalkers in the night.

[Young boys of the neighbourhood.]

Young boys, the restless breed.

[Tell me what they gonna do?]

Looking for a fight.

[Children who are rich and poor.]

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.

[Oh, the trade winds, oh, the trade winds, trade winds of our time….]

Trade winds are blowing, blowing around me.

While all around me what do I see?

[Hatred, yes, and jealousy.]

Hatred and jealousy.

[Brotherhood is dying.]

Brotherhood is dying.

[Love is what we really need.]

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.

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.

Yes, we're caught up in the trade winds…
