Emmylou Harris - Mansion On The Hill - Текст песни

(Bruce Springsteen)
 
There's a place out on the edge of town sir 
Risin' above the factories and fields 
Now ever since I was a child I can remember 
That mansion on the hill 
In the day you can see the children playing 
On a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel 
Steel gates that completely surround sir 
That mansion on the hill 

At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride 
Through the streets of a town so silent and still 
Park on a back road along the highway signs sir 
Look up at the mansion on the hill 

In the summer all the lights would shine 
There'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time 
Me and my brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir 
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill 

Tonight down here in Linden Town 
I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill 
There's a beautiful full moon rising 
Above the mansion on the hill
