《My Father》歌词

[00:00:00] My Father (我的父亲) - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

[00:00:34] My father always promised me

[00:00:41] That we would live in France

[00:00:49] We'd go boating on the seine

[00:00:57] And I would learn to dance

[00:01:05] We lived in Ohio then

[00:01:15] He worked in the mines

[00:01:21] On his dreams like boats we knew

[00:01:26] We would sail in time in time

[00:01:53] My sisters are went away

[00:02:02] To Denver and Cheyenne

[00:02:10] Marrying their grownup dreams

[00:02:18] The lilacs and the man

[00:02:26] I stayed behind the youngest still

[00:02:35] And I danced alone

[00:02:43] Hoping of my fathers dreams

[00:02:47] Someday take me home take me home

[00:03:19] And I live in Paris now

[00:03:28] My children dance and sing

[00:03:39] Words of a miners tongue

[00:03:44] Language they've never sing

[00:03:52] I sail my memories of home

[00:03:59] Like boats across the Seine

[00:04:08] And watch my fathers eyes watch the setting sun

[00:04:15] It sets in my fathers eyes again
