Luyện nghe bài hát Matamoras Banks

(Each many die crossing the deserts,
mountains and rivers of our border
in search of a better life. I follow the
journey backwards, the body at the
bottom, to the man walking across
the desert the banks of the Rio Grande.)

For two the river keeps you down
you rise to the light without a sound
Past the playgrounds and empty switching
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay to the stars

Your clothes give way to the current and river
'Till every trace of who you ever is gone
And the of the earth they make their claim
the things of heaven may do the same

Goodbye, my darling, for your love I God thanks,
me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the
Meet me on the banks

Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean
I walk on sandals of and tire tread
My pockets full of dust, my filled with cool stone
The pale moon the earth to its bones
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your love I give God thanks
The of your loving fingertips
me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the
me on the Matamoros banks

Your sweet memory comes on the evenin'
I sleep and of holding you in my arms again
The lights of Brownsville, across the shine
A rings out and into the silty red river I dive
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your love I give God thanks
A touch of your loving
Meet me on the
Meet me on the
Meet me on the banks
