Springfield Mill Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

An ocean without water, a winter without snow 

A day in the summertime with no where to go 

Nothin' much is dawning, just a tiny glow 

Up ahead sweet river home, the only one I know 

Shade trees on the north side, green grass on the hill 

Sun shines down on my front porch, here at Springfield Mill 

Livin' in the city, never knowing people, really alone 

Night life had me going so, I couldn't stay, I had to go home 

Kid's out in the meadow, clothes out on the line 

My woman's in the kitchen, says, "It's gettin' 'bout supper time" 

It's been right nice a talkin', come back and sit a spell 

But don't ask me to leave my home again, I believe I'd rather go to Hell 

Springfield Mill, Springfield Mill, Springfield Mill, Springfield Mill
