|
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 |
|
I really hope she finds a boyfriend a man who stays around |
