Madelein to Friend
Well, Eligh, I'll tell you:
Life for me hasn't been a mansion.
It's had expensive payments,
And no money,
And forrest surroundings,
And places with hard tile on the floor,
No food.
But all the time,
I've been moving on,
And sitting down,
And calling a carpenter,
And no windows,
Were there hasn't been any lamps.
So, boy, no looking back,
Keep walking on the steps.
Because you'll find it kind of hard.
Continue to work now,
For you'll see, Eligh, I'm still going,
I've still been living,
And life for me hasn't been a mansion.
