We can't survive any more with this notion,
Just save it up to buy a ball and chain.
It seems it's all arranged.
You can't buy time and you can't buy emotions.
What have you and I
Been waiting for?
The Winds Of Change are blowing hard in our direction,
We can't go back and we can't stand still.
The Winds Of Change they try to blow away my affection,
But they never will.
They say in your life there's a tide for the taking.
And if you wait, they say it goes away.
It just flows away.
I know it may be a mistake we are making,
But if we don't try,
We'll never know.
The Winds Of Change are blowing hard in our direction,
We can't go back and we can't stand still.
The Winds Of Change they try to blow away my affection,
But they never will.
The Winds Of Change are blowing hard in our direction,
We can't go back and we can't stand still.
The Winds Of Change they try to blow away my affection,
But they never will.
I've spend some heavy nights like every sailor,
And I know some seedy ways to spend my pay.
I've been arrested in the streets
I've been drunk along the beaches of Marseille
And you know that when I left, I said I loved you,
But you think I've got a girl in every town.
When the hidden harbour whores whisper softly from their doors,
I turned them down.
Mona would you help me to unload my contraband,
I've been saving it for you.
I've ignored the crimson daughters on the quays of Amsterdam,
It's not an easy thing to do.
I keep away from the girls in San Francisco,
As I know my self-control won't last for long.
And a man can lose his head
With a little help from the hookers of Hong Kong.
And as I sail across these endless oceans,
I think of you each mile along the way.
And I tell myself this boat I am sailing on
Will bring me back one day.
Mona would you help me to unload my contraband,
I've been saving it for you.
I've ignored the crimson daughters on the quays of Amsterdam,
It's not an easy thing to do.
Mona would you help me to unload my contraband,
I've been saving it for you.
I've ignored the crimson daughters on the quays of Amsterdam,
It's not an easy thing to do.
