Trade Winds
Language: English
The trade wind is blowing through the trees. The spray blows like smoke across the sea. Oh, when will our boats sail again? Where the foaming waters sweep Over coloured corals deep. When will our boats sail again Out through the reef? One I love lives across the sea across the sea My love she waits waits for me Her hair is black and eyes of emerald green a wonder to be seen When will our boats sail again out through the reef?
