Текст песни: My Mother's House + перевод

A slow and steady rain was falling

In the countryside

We were gathered in the garden

The day my daddy died

Although they had been separated

Apart for quite some time

I saw mother’s tears erase the years

His young widowed bride

In springtime she’ll be turning sixty

And be out on the town

I really hope she finds a boyfriend

A man who stays around

Well yesterday I was heading west

And now I’m headed south

While I’m wandering around the world

She’s wandering the house

Mother do you hear the footsteps

Of your husband down the hall?

Don’t you realize the danger

Of being trapped inside those walls?

In springtime she’ll be turning sixty

And be out on the town

I really hope she finds a boyfriend

A man who stays around

And I hope one day that you will be ready

Have someone strong right by your side

Look back on your life and you surely regret it

Or find some happiness inside

Underneath the willow branches at number 29

Another crowd has gathered and they’re putting up a sign

Mother she is moving on, she is doing so well

She put the past behind her now the house is up for sale

In springtime she’ll be turning sixty

And be out on the town

I really hope she finds a boyfriend

A man who stays around
