Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

It's only when the high blow that I wish my hair was long
Sailing through the autumn singin' an ancient song
Or falling in love in the at night at the edge of a local square
It's only I'm here tonight thinkin' I was there

There's high winds on the pier tonight, my soul departs me
like Thalia's Ghost south on the murky sea
And into midnight's she fades, ragged and wild
down her ancestry in the costume of a Persian child

So winds bring me flying fish, that shine in the crescent moon
Show me the where the dawn will break anew
And cool me here on this lonely pier, where the heron are low
the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico

When I was my eyes were wise, my father was good to me
of having a flock of sons he had two other girls and me
And if we'd our Spanish names, here's the way they'd run
Thalia, and Juanita, I'm the middle one

The screen door the Demons in as we moved from town to town
It's hard to be a princess in the States when skin is brown
And smoothed my worried brow, as I leaned on the kitchen door
"Why do you carry the weight", she
"Of the world and more"

winds bring me flying fish, that shine in the crescent moon
Show me the horizon where the dawn will break
And cool me here on this lonely pier, where the heron are low
the songs my fathers knew in the towns of Mexico

My grandfathers were ministers and it came on down the
My Father in his parents' church
When he was ten years and
And Mama dressed in parishioners' clothes and believe in Hell
Her daddy fought the DAR, if he'd lived, I'd known him well

They said, "Go find a Sunday School", we must have them all
I never stole from the silver plate, my sisters had gall
One said, "Sing out loud and clear, it's the only life you've got
And the next one said, "Be on earth
You've another life at the of God"

And winds bring me flying fish, that shine in the crescent moon
Show me the horizon the dawn will break anew
And cool me on this lonely pier, where the heron are flying low
the songs my fathers knew in the towns of Mexico

My father down many a job just to give us something real
It's hard to be a scientist in the States when you've got
And kept the budget book, and she kept the garden too
Bought fish from the man on Thursdays, fed all of us and too

But will pass and so, alas, will most of what we know
Though my memory's eye is clear as the story's being told
And I'll play ball with the underdog and sit with the child wrong
Be still when the earth is silent and sing my strength is gone

So Gulf winds bring me flying fish, shine in the crescent moon
Show me the horizon where the dawn will anew
And cool me here on this pier, where the heron are flying low
Echo the my father knew in the towns of Mexico

Now going to India, sometime in the fall
They tried to stay but you just can't do it all
I'll think about him if he goes, there's a gray in his hair
Though not 'cause he's Mexican, they don't age, they just prepare

And if he goes to India, miss him most of all
He'll see me in the mudlarks' face, hear me in the beggar's
And Mama will stay home, I guess, and worry if she did
And I'll say a prayer for of them and sing them both my song

And winds bring me flying fish, that shine in the crescent moon
Show me the horizon where the dawn will break
And cool me here on this lonely pier, where the are flying low
Echo the songs my father in the towns of Mexico
