D9RITMO
D Em
It's only when the high winds blow that I wish my hair was long
C D
Sailing through the autumn leaves singing an ancient song
D Em
Or falling in love in the streets at night at the edge of a local square
C G D
It's only that I'm here tonight thinking I was there
D Em
There are high winds on the pier tonight, my soul departs from me
C G D
Striding like Thalia's ghost south on the murky sea
D Em
And into midnight's tapestry she fades, ragged and wild
C G D D4
Searching down her ancestry in the costume of a Persian child
(ESTRIBILHO)
D Bm
And gulf winds bring me flying fish that shine in the crescent moon
A G D
Show me the horizon where the dawn will break a new
Bm
And cool me here on this lonely pier where the heron are flying low
A G D D9
Echo the songs my father knew in the towns of Mexico
When I was young my eyes were wise, my father was good to me
