Trade Winds Blowin In My Mind--

My love, my love
Has gone with the winds;
My heart, my heart
Stands here ever still….
Those trade winds blows east
Gone with the wind;
My love, my love now east
She has gone and left me alone here
Emotions flying, spinning around as a hurricane

Trade winds blowing in my mind, in my mind;
I find it too hard, too hard to find;
My ears are ringing, my heart stop singing;
Trade winds blowing in my mind
Emotions flying, spinning around as a hurricane

I loved her I even wrote her litters;
She left me to fine another boy better, better;
I’d crawl for her;
She even had the nerve;
To threaten me said she was going to reveal in me;
All those wrongs that I’ve done, I’m so alone…

My love, my love
Has gone with the winds;
My heart, my heart
Stands here ever still….
Those trade winds blows east
Gone with the wind;
My love, my love now east
She has gone and left me alone here
Emotions flying, spinning around as a hurricane


Trade winds blowing in my mind, in my mind;
I find it too hard, too hard to find;
My ears are ringing, my heart stop singing;
Trade winds blowing in my mind
Emotions flying, spinning around as a hurricane

these trade winds blowin in my mind
