HANK SNOW - A MESSAGE FROM THE TRADEWINDS Lyrics

The lights were burning lowAnd Mister Midnight made his wayOld Father TIme had trudged alongTo close to another day.The old clock ticked and seemed to sayYour heart is sad and blueBut just rememeber, palThere's others broken, too.I told the moon it was so hardTo play love's losing handWhen you thought you drew a sweetheartShe was just a fickle friend.Don't mind my tears, remember,There's still a million hearts in bloomSo keep on shining though I'm piningSilv'ry moon.The trade winds brought a message inFrom far across the the seaThey said they saw the silver sailsThat carried you from me.They told me you were drifting onUpon an endless tideAnd lonely seagulls hovered o'er youAs you cried.If I could send a messageOn the crest of ev'ry waveThey'd take you my forgivenessAnd two broken hearts we'd save.But instead I'll ask each little starTo guide your ship back homeSo keep on shining though I'm piningSil'vry moon...
