Hank Snow - A message from the trade winds

^GThe lights were burning low and Mister Midnight ^Cmade his ^Gway Old ^D7Father Time had trudged along to close another ^Gday

The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is ^Csad and ^Gblue But just ^A7remember pal ^D7there's others broken ^Gtoo

I ^Ctold the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand When you ^Gthought you drew a sweetheart she ^A7was just a fickle ^D7friend

Don't ^Gmind my tears remember there's still a million ^Chearts in ^Gbloom So keep on ^A7shining though I'm ^D7pining silvery ^Gmoon

The trade winds brought a message in from far ^Cacross the ^Gsea They ^D7said they saw the silver sails that carried you from ^Gme

They told me you were drifting on upon an ^Cendless ^Gtide And lonely ^A7seagulls hovered ^D7o'er you as you ^Gcried

If ^CI could send a message on the crest of every wave They'd ^Gtake you my forgiveness and ^A7two broken hearts we'd ^D7save

But ^Ginstead I'll ask each little star to guide your ^Cship back ^Ghome So keep on ^A7shining though I'm ^D7pining silvery ^Gmoon
