A Night On The Town

Rod Stewart A Night On The Town Album

9.Trade Winds

Here I stand looking, looking around me
While all around me, what do I see
Unhappy gaces behind a painted smile
Heartache and loneliness dressed up in modern style
Unhappy people liveing 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
Young girls who'll soon become
Walkers on the avenue
Streetwalkers in the night
Young boys of the neighborhood
Young boys, the restless breed
Tell me what they're 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
Aah, the trade, aah, 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 jealously
Hatred and jealousy
Brotherhood is dying up
Brotherhood is dying
Love is what we really need
Love is the answer
But nobody'd 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 windsof our time
We are riding on the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
We are riding on the trade winds
The trade winds of our time
