Testo Millworker - Bette Midler
Testo della canzone Millworker (Bette Midler), tratta dall'album Thighs And Whispers
Now my grandfather was a sailor, he blew it off the water
My father was a farmer and I, his only daughter
Took up with an no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
Who died from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed
Millwork ain't easy, millwork ain't hard
Millwork, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
I'm waiting for a daydream to take me through the morning
Put me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich and remember
And it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
For the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me swinging on his arm
I can hear my granddad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes and sailors' lives were lost
Yeah, but it's my life has been wasted and I who've been the fool
To let this manufacturer use my mighty for tools
As I ride home in the evening, I'm staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance
Oh, but may I work the mills just as long as I am able
And never meet the man whose name is on the label
Oh, it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
For the rest of my life
Wasted
