Tradewinds Lyrics - Rod Stewart

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
