Trade Winds Lyrics by Bob Dylan

Triplicate (Sampler)

2017

Down where the trade winds play
Down where you lose the day
We found a new world
Where paradise starts we traded hearts
Way down where the trade winds play

Music was everywhere
Flowers were in her hair
Under an awning of silvery boughs
We traded vows
The night that I sailed away

Oh, trade winds, what are vows that lovers make?
Oh, trade winds, are they only made to break?

When it is May again
I'll sail away again
Though I'm returning, it won’t be the same
She traded her name
Way down where the trade winds play
