Tradewinds

Hurry, I'm waiting for you
Feel the tradewinds directing the clouds
Warm water touching our feet
And the gentle rays of the sun
Bouncing off your skin
Seems like a perfect day to unwind

Toss your sandals, get rid of your hat
Walk slow, don't leave me behind
Chasing after the footprints you left on the sand
As I follow, I begin to admire
The tattoo on your right calf
Brings out a new character in you

Go take me for a swim
As far as you can with no fear
Suddenly you pull my hand with a big grin
No hesitation, I give in and playfully ask
Please give me a piggyback ride, daddy
I feel so warm and so safe with you
At the moment, I don't worry about anything else.
