《My Father(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] My Father - Nina Simone

[00:00:33] 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

[00:01:14] He worked in the mines

[00:01:20] On his dreams like boats

[00:01:23] We knew would we sail in time

[00:01:53] All my sisters soon were gone

[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

[00:02:34] Only danced alone

[00:02:42] The my colors father's of dreams

[00:02:47] Someday take me home

[00:02:59] Take me home

[00:03:18] And I live in Paris now

[00:03:27] My children dance and dream

[00:03:38] Hways of a miner's time

[00:03:44] In words they've never seen

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

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

[00:04:07] And watch my father's eyes

[00:04:11] Watch the rising sun

[00:04:14] As it sets in my father's eyes again
