A folky ballad
love doubt uncertainty
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
A folky ballad. Written in India, I think. Another song of uncertainty.
Lyrics
HBD 16 Trade winds Trade winds are blowing, blowing me away from you Just like a strong river flowing, keeps on pushing me through Throw me a lifeline, throw me a rope Give me a sign I'm afraid I'm losing hope Trade winds are blowing, keeping me moving on. Trade winds are blowing, elemental force It’s their way of showing, keep me on a steady course Indecision gets blown away No excision no delay Trade winds are blowing, trade winds write my song Can't seem to get myself out of this groove Don't know what it is I'm trying to prove Am I resolute or just resigned Or just sleepwalking through this life of mine Trade winds are blowing, will they never turn Never slowing, never time to learn Lift me up, pull me out of this race Fill my cup with your loving grace Trade winds are blowing but your love is growing strong |Am||C|D| Amx4| |Am||C|D| Amx4| |Am|D|Am|D| |C|F|G|Am| |Am||C|D| Amx4| |C|F|G|Am| |C|F|G|Am| |Am| |Em|Am| |D7| |G|G7|
