《Gulf Winds》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist:joan baez
[00:00:01] Songs Title:gulf winds
[00:00:26] It's only when the high winds blow that I wish my hair was long
[00:00:33] Sailing through the autumn leaves singing an ancient song
[00:00:41] Or falling in love in the streets at night at the edge of a local square
[00:00:48] It's only that I'm here tonight thinking I was there
[00:01:00] There are high winds on the pier tonight my soul departs from me
[00:01:09] Striding like Thalia's ghost south on the murky sea
[00:01:17] And into midnight's tapestry she fades ragged and wild
[00:01:24] Searching down her ancestry in the costume of a Persian child
[00:01:37] And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[00:01:47] Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[00:01:53] And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[00:01:59] Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[00:02:19] When I was young my eyes were wise my father was good to me
[00:02:26] Instead of having a flock of sons he had two other girls and me
[00:02:33] And if we had used our Spanish names here's the way they'd run
[00:02:40] Thalia Margarita and Juanita I'm the middle one
[00:02:53] The screen door kept the demons in as we moved from town to town
[00:03:00] It's hard to be a princess in the States when your skin is brown
[00:03:08] And mama smoothed my worried brow as I leaned on the kitchen door
[00:03:17] Why do you carry the weight she said of the world and maybe more
[00:03:31] And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[00:03:40] Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[00:03:45] And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[00:03:52] Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[00:04:12] My grandfathers were ministers and it came on down the line
[00:04:21] My father preached in his parents' church when he was ten years and nine
[00:04:29] And mama dressed in parishoners' clothes and didn't believe in hell
[00:04:38] Her daddy fought the DAR if he'd lived I'd have known him well
[00:04:49] They said go find a Sunday School we must have tried them all
[00:04:56] I never stole from the silver plate my sisters had more gall
[00:05:04] One preacher said sing out loud and clear it's the only life you've got
[00:05:13] And the next one said be good on earth you've another life at the feet of God
[00:05:29] And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[00:05:38] Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[00:05:44] And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[00:05:51] Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[00:06:10] My father turned down many a job just to give us something real
[00:06:19] It's hard to be a scientist in the States when you've got ideals
[00:06:27] And mama kept the budget book she kept the garden too
[00:06:36] Bought fish from the man on Thursday fed all of us and strangers too
[00:06:48] But time will pass and so alas will most of what we know
[00:06:57] Though tonight my memory's eye is clear as the story's being told
[00:07:04] And I'll play ball with the underdog and sit with the child who's wrong
[00:07:11] Be still when the earth is silent and sing when my strength is gone
[00:07:25] And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[00:07:36] Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[00:07:41] And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[00:07:49] Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[00:08:11] Now father's going to India sometime in the fall
[00:08:20] They tried to stay together but you just can't do it all
[00:08:28] I'll think about him if he goes there's a little grey in his hair
[00:08:37] Though not much because he's Mexican they don't age they just prepare
[00:08:50] And if he goes to India I'll miss him most of all
[00:08:59] He'll see me in the mudlarks' face hear me in the beggar's call
[00:09:07] And mama will stay home I guess and worry if she did wrong
[00:09:16] And I'll say a prayer for both of them and sing them both my song
[00:09:31] And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[00:09:40] Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[00:09:46] And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[00:09:54] Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
