Message From The Tradewinds Lyrics

The lights were burning low and Mr Midnight made his way

Old father time had trudged along to close another day

The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is sad and blue

But just rememeber pal there's others broken too.

I told the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand

When you thought you drew a sweetheart she was just a fickle friend

Don't mind my tears remember there's still a million hearts in bloom

So keep on shining though I'm pining silv'ry moon.

The trade winds brought a message in from far across the sea

They said they saw the silver sails that carried you from me

They told me you were drifting on upon an endless tide

And lonely seagulls hovered o'er you as you cried.

If I could send a message on the crest of every wave

They'd take you my forgiveness and two broken hearts we'd save

But instead I'll ask each little star to guide your ship back home

So keep on shining though I'm pining sil'vry moon...
