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 Ill 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
