| Down where the trade winds play,
|
| Down where you lose the day,
|
| We found a new world where paradise starts,
|
| We traded high way down where the trade winds play.
|
| Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair,
|
| Under an awning of silvery boughs,
|
| We traded vows the night that I sailed away.
|
| Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make,
|
| Oh trade winds, are they only made to break,
|
| When it is May again, I’ll sail away again,
|
| Though I’m returning, it won’t be the same,
|
| She traded her name way down where the trade winds play |
