Tradewinds — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(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
