John Denver Tradewinds song lyrics

This song was first released on the I Want To Live Album. It is the only album it has been released on.

Ridin' on a tradewind

Fillin' my sails with a soft and southerly breeze

Livin' on the ocean blue

Dreaming' of the islands

Rappin' myself in the glow of a tropical moon

I never shiver when the sun goes down

All the Earth she sings to me

Every shallow, every tree

Surely my loves shining like the sea

I can make you happy

If I can I'll take you away on a wave in my arms

Never leave you on the edge all alone

If you feel like dancin'

Rollin' like the water across my sleepless night

Makin me a peaceful place

All my life to be with you

All I ever want to do

Knowing you are feeling that way too

Distant thunder, heavy seas

Rocky Mountain memories

Surely I was lost till I found thee

Ye Ye Ye
