Luyện nghe bài hát The Silver Lady

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

To me she out of the sky
She was born riding on the
Her hair all around her
She was the man's only daughter.

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

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

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

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

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

"i love my father
Madman he may be
It would his heart if I should leave him
But life is killing me.

"i feel the ocean me
The breezes come and tell me
I want to go with them they go
And see the new morning brings."

So she sadly turned away me
So I stumbled my way back
The day I heard she had taken her horse
And off to parts unknown.

Her father stayed inside his house
And he never more into town
He could be seen the riverside
And say that he jumped in and drowned.

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