Testo The Housewife's Lament - Anne Hills & Cindy Mangsen

Testo della canzone The Housewife's Lament (Anne Hills & Cindy Mangsen), tratta dall'album Never Grow Old

One day I was walking, I heard a complaining
And spied an old woman the picture of gloom
She gazed at the mud on her doorstep, 'twas raining
And this was her song as she wielded her broom
Oh life is a toil and love is a trouble
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
There's too much of worriment goes in a bonnet
There's too much of ironing goes in a shirt
There's nothing that pays for the time you waste on it
There's nothing that lasts us but trouble and dirt
In March it is mud, it is slush in December
The midsummer breezes are loaded with dust
In fall the leaves litter, in muddy September
The wallpaper rots and the candlesticks rust
Oh life is a toil and love is a trouble
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
There's worms in the cherries and slugs on the roses
And ants in the sugar and mice in the pies
The rubbish of spiders no mortal supposes
And ravaging roaches and damaging flies
With grease and with grime from corner to center
Forever at war and forever alert
No rest for a day lest the enemy enter
I've spent my whole life in a struggle with dirt
Oh life is a toil and love is a trouble
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
Pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
And nothing is as I would wish it to be
Last night in my dreams I was stationed forever
On a far little rock in the midst of the sea
My one chance in life was a ceaseless endeavor
To sweep off the waves as they swept over me
Alas 'twas no dream, ahead I behold it
I see I am helpless my fate to avert
She laid down her broom, her apron she folded
She laid down and died and was buried in dirt
