There's a place out on the edge of town sir |
|
Risin' above the factories and the 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 the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel |
|
Steel gates that completely surround sir the 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 side |
|
Look up at that 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 sister we'd hide out in the tall corn fields |
|
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 |
