Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

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

There's winds 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, 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 horizon where the dawn will anew
And cool me here on lonely pier, where the heron are flying low
Echo the my father knew in the towns of Mexico

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

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

winds 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 of Mexico

My grandfathers were ministers and it on down the line
My preached 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 lived, I'd have 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 preacher said, "Sing out loud and clear, it's the only life got
And the next one said, "Be on earth
You've another at the feet of God"

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

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

But time will pass and so, alas, most of what we know
Though tonight my memory's eye is 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 is silent 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 will break anew
And cool me here on this pier, where the heron are flying low
Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of

Now going to India, sometime in the fall
tried to stay together but you just 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, they 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 home, I guess, and worry if she did wrong
And I'll say a prayer for both of 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 lonely pier, where the heron are flying low
Echo the songs my father knew in the of Mexico
