Trade Winds

Written by Cliff Friend and Charles Tobias and a 1940 hit for Bing Crosby; it closes the first disc of Triplicate.

The words

On a tropical shore, the warm winds bring back memories of a lover who is no longer there.

Set somewhere in the islands, the song has the singer listening to the winds off the sea and thinking of a romance that once happened there. It is dreamy and exotic in the manner of its era, with a gentle sway that suggests palms and water. Dylan's band gives it a soft, drifting arrangement with steel guitar, ending the first disc on a wistful, faraway note.
