Luyện nghe bài hát The Silver Lady

When I was a girl
than nine or ten
I once to the silver lady
But I saw her again.

To me she out of the sky
She was riding on the water
Her hair blew all her
She was the crazy man's daughter.

I used to see her day
Riding her pony
once did I hear her laugh
And it far and lonely.

I watched the river run
And I too far from home
There I met the lady
She was crying, all alone.

I said, "lady, why are you
If I had wings you
I be flying over this river
And singing only birds do."

Well she threw back her head and she at me
Her tears, how shone in the sun
She said, "i have no to fly with
If I did I would be gone.

"my have all gone far away
To their hearts and be free
But I am the youngest and my is ageing
And all he's got is me.

"i love my father
though he may be
It break his heart if I should leave him
But this is killing me.

"i feel the pulling me
The come and tell me things
I want to go with them wherever go
And see the new morning brings."

So she sadly away from me
So I stumbled my way back
The next day I heard she had taken her
And gone off to unknown.

Her father stayed inside his house
And he more came into town
He could be seen the riverside
And they say that he in and drowned.

Long I waited, she never returned
But when I felt a silver
I knew she had it from wherever she was
To tell us now she was free.
