Mother's House
A slow and steady rain is fallin' in the countryside
We're gathered in the garden ,today my daddy died
And though they've been separated off quite some time
Mother's tears raised the years ,this young widow cries
In spring time she'll be turning 60
And be out on the town
I really hope she finds a boyfriend
And the man stays around
Where yesterday I was heading West
Now I'm heading South
While I'm wondering around the world
She's wondering around the house
Mother do you hear the footsteps of your husband down the hall?
Don't you realize the danger?
Being trapped inside those walls
In spring time she'll be turning 60
And be out on the town
I really hope she finds a boyfriend
And the man stays around
And I hope one day that you will be ready
I'm so much drawn up by your side
Look back in life when you shouldn't do it
You'll find some happiness inside
Underneath the willow branches a number 29
Another crowd has gathered and they're putting up a sign
Mother she's moving on ,he's doing so well
She's put her past behind her
Another house is of for sale
In spring time she'll be turning 60
And be out on the town
I really hope she finds a boyfriend
And the man stays around
In spring time she'll be turning 60
And be out on the town
I really hope she finds a boyfriend
And the man stays around
