Riding on a tradewind
Filling my sails with a soft and southerly breeze
Living on the ocean blue
 
Dreaming of the islands
Rapping 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 dancing
Rolling like the water across my sleepless night
Making 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
