Mildred Wright III by The Foresters Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Passing by the farms and empty fields in my old town
In the yards, just sun-bleached, rusted scrap upon the ground
They all settled somewhere else just a few miles down
So synthetic, they regret it, hope they’ll come around
[Chorus 1]
We lived it all in a stone brick wall not so far from the shore
But truth is that every settlement is looking for some more
No one can keep from going out the door
[Verse 2]
Here's the place where people declare all they thought was true
It never was but what else did they really have to do?
Over there a silent man lives talking to himself
No one knows if he shares his house with somebody else
[Chorus 2]
A hundred showers just broke the hands of Mildred Wright III
She sits above the council waiting for someone to hear her words
That everything these days is so absurd
[Solo]
[Chorus 1]
We lived it all in a stone brick wall not so far from the shore
But truth is that every settlement is looking for some more
No one can keep from going out the door
Passing by the farms and empty fields in my old town
In the yards, just sun-bleached, rusted scrap upon the ground
They all settled somewhere else just a few miles down
So synthetic, they regret it, hope they’ll come around
[Chorus 1]
We lived it all in a stone brick wall not so far from the shore
But truth is that every settlement is looking for some more
No one can keep from going out the door
[Verse 2]
Here's the place where people declare all they thought was true
It never was but what else did they really have to do?
Over there a silent man lives talking to himself
No one knows if he shares his house with somebody else
[Chorus 2]
A hundred showers just broke the hands of Mildred Wright III
She sits above the council waiting for someone to hear her words
That everything these days is so absurd
[Solo]
[Chorus 1]
We lived it all in a stone brick wall not so far from the shore
But truth is that every settlement is looking for some more
No one can keep from going out the door
