Soft winds, whisper
Sweet words to my love.
Soft winds, tell him
The dreams I'm dreaming of.
He's gone too long
Out on the blue sea,
Find him, soft winds,
And bring him back home to me.

Blow blow, soft winds,
Out on the blue sea.
Tell him, soft winds
I'm sad and lonely.
Since he left me,
My heart is empty.
Blow blow, soft winds,
And bring him back home to me.

Soft winds, whisper

Soft winds, tell her

She's gone too long

Find her, soft winds

Blow blow, soft winds,
Out on the blue sea.
Tell him, soft winds
I'm sad and lonely.
Since he left me,
My heart is empty.
Blow blow, soft winds,
And bring him right back to me.
Blow blow, soft winds,
And bring him back home to me.
Blow blow, soft winds,
Blow blow, soft winds,
Blow blow, soft winds,
Blow blow, soft winds,
Blow blow, soft winds.
