You wake up early in the morning
Just another old working day
But this old world keeps turning
In the same old way
Let me take you where the trade winds blow
And the sun is always shining
And I'll stay with you until you change your mind
I read a book about the islands
Far away in a coral sea
All we need is a friendly sailboat
A good wind, and we're running free
Let me take you where the trade winds blow
And the sun is always shining
And I'll stay with you until you change your mind
I remember days gone by
When people had time for leisure
Making their stately way across the ocean
But now, all we do is fly
'Cause we really don't have the time
And there's only so many hours in a day, they say
But if you let me take you away
Well, I guess you're just not listening
KRLA is on the radio
Soon you'll be going to work as usual
Leaving me to dream alone
Dreaming of where the trade winds blow
And the sun is always shining
And I'll stay with you until you change your mind
