milow - my mother's house lyrics
[verse 1]
a slow and steady rain was falling
in the countryside
we were gathered in the garden
the day my daddy died
although they had been separated
apart for quite some time
i saw mother’s tears erase the years
his young widowed bride
[chorus]
in springtime she’ll be turning sixty
and be out on the town
i really hope she finds a boyfriend
a man who stays around
[verse 2]
well yesterday i was heading west
and now i’m headed south
while i’m wandering around the world
she’s wandering the house
mother do you hear the footsteps
of your husband down the hall?
don’t you realize the danger
of being trapped inside those walls?
[chorus]
in springtime she’ll be turning sixty
and be out on the town
i really hope she finds a boyfriend
a man who stays around
[bridge]
and i hope one day that you will be ready
have someone strong right by your side
look back on your life and you surely regret it
or find some happiness inside
[verse 3]
underneath the willow branches at number 29
another crowd has gathered and they’re putting up a sign
mother she is moving on, she is doing so well
she put the past behind her now the house is up for sale
[chorus]
in springtime she’ll be turning sixty
and be out on the town
i really hope she finds a boyfriend
a man who stays around
