Mansion On The Hill — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

(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
