Emmylou Harris - Mansion On The Hill lyrics

Your rating:

There's a place out on the edge of town 
Rising 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 
That mansion on the hill

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

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

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