Luyện nghe bài hát Departure Bay

The fading scent of summertime, arbutus and firs
The of rain-soaked moss
Going to the queen at dusk
Down narrow roads in autumn

The air and the sawmills
And the bars are of songs and tears
To the passing of the
And people with their big

I get home and then I leave again
long ago and far away
Now skimming stones and exchanging rings
scattering and sailing from departure bay

The house was bare of Christmas
It came hard that year
in our overcoats, drinking down to the bitter end
Trying to make things right, my mother did

Last year we were
We sang in so beautifully
Now her on the bathroom counter
And I'm sitting in my back pew

I just get home and I leave again
It's ago and far away
Now we're skimming and exchanging rings
They're scattering and sailing from bay

A song on the gramophone
And thoughts turn to life
We took the long way to get back like over the Malahat
Now a seaplane and time has flown

I won't miss all the
While my heart is beating and my bloom
But who when I started
That I'd find a and bring him home

Just get me and one we will stay
A long time off and far
Now we're skimming stones and rings
We're scattering and in departure bay
