Lyrics
EAST WIND
WORDS & MUSIC; POWERS MCELHONE, ASCAP
EAST WIND, BLOWING A-SHORE...
TELLING OF FOREIGN PORTS I'VE BEEN TO BEFORE [ECHO]
NOW LOOK HERE, I'VE SETTLED DOWN...
IN THIS FUNNY LITTLE TOWN...
WITH A GOOD MAN...
EAST WIND, HOW WELL YOU PLAY...
THE MUSIC THAT I KNEW IN ROME AND
BOMBAY [ECHO]
LOOK I MAY HAVE PEACE AT LAST...
JUST A LADY WITH NO PAST
...AND A GOOD MAN....
DON'T MAKE ME THINK OF EXCITING BAZAARS,
HIGH ROLLING GAMBLERS, FLAMENCO GUITARS
EXOTIC DANCERS AND SAILORS WITH SCARS...
IN HONKY-TONK WATERFRONT BARS....
INSTRUMENTAL
EAST WIND, HOW WELL YOU KNOW...
THE RESTLESS PART OF ME THAT'S LONGING TO GO
WELL, I'M TRYING TO FORGET...
AND I'M GONNA PAY MY DEBT...
TO A GOOD MAN...
