[00:01.74]Songs Title：gulf winds
[00:03.42]
[00:26.68]It's only when the high winds blow that I wish my hair was long
[00:33.61]Sailing through the autumn leaves singing an ancient song
[00:41.65]Or falling in love in the streets at night at the edge of a local square
[00:48.58]It's only that I'm here tonight thinking I was there
[00:59.21]
[01:00.14]There are high winds on the pier tonight, my soul departs from me
[01:09.29]Striding like Thalia's ghost south on the murky sea
[01:17.40]And into midnight's tapestry she fades, ragged and wild
[01:24.14]Searching down her ancestry in the costume of a Persian child
[01:37.97]And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[01:47.26]Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[01:53.01]And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[01:59.86]Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[02:12.94]
[02:19.05]When I was young my eyes were wise, my father was good to me
[02:26.06]Instead of having a flock of sons he had two other girls and me
[02:33.92]And if we had used our Spanish names, here's the way they'd run
[02:40.60]Thalia, Margarita and Juanita, I'm the middle one.
[02:53.27]The screen door kept the demons in as we moved from town to town
[03:00.19]It's hard to be a princess in the States when your skin is brown
[03:08.12]And mama smoothed my worried brow as I leaned on the kitchen door
[03:17.30]Why do you carry the weight, she said, of the world and maybe more?
[03:31.34]And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[03:40.13]Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[03:45.81]And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[03:52.91]Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[04:05.52]
[04:12.19]My grandfathers were ministers and it came on down the line
[04:21.05]My father preached in his parents' church when he was ten years and nine
[04:29.10]And mama dressed in parishoners' clothes and didn't believe in hell
[04:38.21]Her daddy fought the DAR, if he'd lived I'd have known him well
[04:49.51]They said go find a Sunday School, we must have tried them all
[04:56.56]I never stole from the silver plate, my sisters had more gall
[05:04.25]One preacher said sing out loud and clear, it's the only life you've got
[05:13.49]And the next one said be good on earth, you've another life at the feet of God
[05:28.77]
[05:29.46]And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[05:38.70]Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[05:44.19]And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[05:51.11]Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[06:02.47]
[06:10.46]My father turned down many a job just to give us something real
[06:19.52]It's hard to be a scientist in the States when you've got ideals
[06:27.39]And mama kept the budget book, she kept the garden, too
[06:36.43]Bought fish from the man on Thursday, fed all of us and strangers, too
[06:47.30]
[06:48.06]But time will pass and so, alas, will most of what we know
[06:57.10]Though tonight my memory's eye is clear as the story's being told
[07:04.98]And I'll play ball with the underdog and sit with the child who's wrong
[07:11.72]Be still when the earth is silent and sing when my strength is gone
[07:25.64]And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[07:36.02]Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[07:41.57]And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[07:49.74]Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
[08:01.47]
[08:11.52]Now father's going to India sometime in the fall
[08:20.38]They tried to stay together but you just can't do it all
[08:28.43]I'll think about him if he goes, there's a little grey in his hair
[08:37.48]Though not much because he's Mexican, they don't age, they just prepare
[08:49.58]
[08:50.21]And if he goes to India I'll miss him most of all
[08:59.32]He'll see me in the mudlarks' face, hear me in the beggar's call
[09:07.55]And mama will stay home, I guess, and worry if she did wrong
[09:16.66]And I'll say a prayer for both of them and sing them both my song
[09:28.26]
[09:31.57]And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
[09:40.87]Show me the horizon where the dawn will break anew
[09:46.11]And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
[09:54.60]Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
