Текст песни: Paragon Mills + перевод

Paragon Mills when I was a child was miles and miles of woods,

I used to wander alone for hours at a time,

Across Citrus drive up Pennfield past the graveyard and then

behind the school into the woods,

We used to have huge football

games behind the graveyard there,

I remember skipping school one

time and hiding in the

bushes in front of one of the houses on Pennfield drive,

A woman came out of the house with cold cream all over her face,

It scared me half to death; I was very young so she took me home and

turned the truant in to its mother,

I remember another time I skipped school and didn’t get caught,

I sat up high in a tree in the next door neighbor’s yard all day long,

I could see the neighbor; Beverly; thru the window; eye level with

the second story; I must

have really hated school,

In the winter-snow we used to sled down Gary drive and on

down my steep driveway,

We would get going so fast we could barely stop before we ran thru the

ditch and into the fence

at the end of the yard,

We had some terrible crashes; even left some marks in the bricks

on the side of the house,

There was a tree on that side of the house that always racked across

my window at night,

It always scared me; so me and

my little sister would sleep

together and this gave great comfort,

I remember the morning I woke up when what was left of hurricane

Camille came so far inland,

That tree was whipping around; scratching at the window and the sky

looked like a scene

in some horror movie,

We had four giant White Oaks

in our backyard they

were beautiful trees,

Two of them fell during tornadoes; one on the Bennett’s fence and

the other on our house,

There was a farm behind our house

and during one of those

tornadoes the barn was almost completely destroyed,

And there was also my favorite tree in the front yard that I fell out of

once and broke my arm (broken bird),

My old house is still

there but it’s all houses around it now,

The farm behind my

house; the woods behind the school; all gone,

I still carry Paragon Mills in my secret soul,

And though I don’t think

much about those days anymore; perhaps I should.
