My Father - Nina Simone[00:00:01]
My father always promised me[00:00:33]
That we would live in France[00:00:41]
We'd go boating on the Seine[00:00:49]
And I would learn to dance[00:00:57]
We lived in Ohio then[00:01:05]
He worked in the mines[00:01:14]
On his dreams like boats[00:01:20]
We knew would we sail in time[00:01:23]
All my sisters soon were gone[00:01:53]
To Denver and Cheyenne[00:02:02]
Marrying their grownup dreams[00:02:10]
The lilacs and the man[00:02:18]
I stayed behind the youngest still[00:02:26]
Only danced alone[00:02:34]
The my colors father's of dreams[00:02:42]
Someday take me home[00:02:47]
Take me home[00:02:59]
And I live in Paris now[00:03:18]
My children dance and dream[00:03:27]
Hways of a miner's time[00:03:38]
In words they've never seen[00:03:44]
I sail my memories of home[00:03:52]
Like boats across the Seine[00:03:59]
And watch my father's eyes[00:04:07]
Watch the rising sun[00:04:11]
As it sets in my father's eyes again[00:04:14]
