Emmylou Harris Mansion On The Hill Lyrics

Mansion On The Hill Lyrics

(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
