Luyện nghe bài hát Gulf Winds

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

There's high winds on the tonight, my soul departs from me
Striding Thalia's Ghost south on the murky sea
And into midnight's tapestry she fades, ragged and
Searching down her ancestry in the costume of a child

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

When I was young my eyes 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, the way they'd run
Thalia, Margarita and Juanita, I'm the one

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

Gulf winds bring me 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 are flying low
the songs my fathers knew in the towns of Mexico

My grandfathers were ministers and it came on down the
My Father preached in his parents'
When he was ten and nine
And Mama dressed in parishioners' clothes and didn't in Hell
Her fought the DAR, if he'd lived, I'd have known him well

They said, "Go find a Sunday School", we have tried them all
I stole from the silver plate, my sisters had more gall
One preacher said, "Sing out loud and clear, it's the life you've got
And the next one said, "Be on earth
You've life at the feet of God"

And 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 lonely pier, where the are flying low
the songs my fathers knew in the towns of Mexico

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

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

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

Now Father's going to India, in the fall
They tried to stay but you just can't do it all
I'll think him if he goes, there's 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 face, hear me in the beggar's call
And Mama will home, I guess, and worry if she did wrong
And I'll say a prayer for both of them and them both my song

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