Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

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

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

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

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

The screen door kept the Demons in as we moved town to town
It's hard to be a princess in the States when your is brown
And Mama smoothed my worried brow, as I leaned on the kitchen
"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, the heron are flying low
Echo the songs my knew in the towns of Mexico

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

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

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

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 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 with the underdog and sit with the child who's wrong
Be still when the earth is silent and sing my strength is gone

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

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

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

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