Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

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

There's high on the pier tonight, my soul departs from me
Striding like Thalia's Ghost south on the 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 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 father knew in the towns of

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

The screen kept the Demons in as we moved from town to town
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 and maybe more"

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 lonely pier, where the heron are low
Echo the songs my fathers knew in the towns of

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

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

And Gulf winds bring me flying fish, 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 songs my fathers in the towns of Mexico

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

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

So Gulf 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
the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico

Now Father's going to India, in the fall
They to stay together but you just 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, don't age, they just prepare

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

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