Trade Winds
A folky ballad.
Written in India, I think. Another song of uncertainty.

HBD 16 Trade winds
Trade winds are blowing, blowing me away from you
Just like a strong river flowing, keeps on pushing me through
Throw me a lifeline, throw me a rope
Give me a sign I'm afraid I'm losing hope
Trade winds are blowing, keeping me moving on.
Trade winds are blowing, elemental force
It’s their way of showing, keep me on a steady course
Indecision gets blown away
No excision no delay
Trade winds are blowing, trade winds write my song
Can't seem to get myself out of this groove
Don't know what it is I'm trying to prove
Am I resolute or just resigned
Or just sleepwalking through this life of mine
Trade winds are blowing, will they never turn
Never slowing, never time to learn
Lift me up, pull me out of this race
Fill my cup with your loving grace
Trade winds are blowing but your love is growing strong
