Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

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

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

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

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

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

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

My grandfathers were and it came on down the line
My Father preached in his church
When he was ten and nine
And Mama dressed in parishioners' and didn't believe in Hell
Her daddy the DAR, if he'd lived, I'd have known him well

They said, "Go find a Sunday School", we must have tried all
I never stole from the silver plate, my had more gall
One preacher said, "Sing out loud and clear, the only life you've got
And the next one said, "Be good on
You've life at the feet 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
Echo the songs my fathers knew in the of Mexico

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

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

So winds bring me flying fish, that shine in the crescent moon
Show me the horizon where the dawn break anew
And cool me here on this lonely pier, where the 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 together but you can't do it all
I'll about him if he goes, there's a little gray in his hair
Though not much 'cause he's Mexican, they don't age, they prepare

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

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