Windmills Songtext
von Sam Doores

Well our days are full of laughter
Our nights are full of song
My old man, he was kind and strong
But in the hills, the rolling hills where I was raised
When his water turned to whiskey, I′d find my old hiding place
And when his work day ended, he'd come home to take his meal
Without a word, I could tell just how it feels
To work all day and let it pass you by
Without a word to say, without a dream to try


Just watching the windmills turn
See ′em spinning as they stand
Working all day for another man, another man

Well the bottle he ain't kind, no he don't call no man friend
He′ll keep you warm just to burn you in the end
Telling you lies that you love to believe
If you look him in the eyes, he can turn a good soul mean
And it don′t take much of a man for to let his family down
Swinging up at the world through the hole that he's found
Makes you cold, yes friends it makes you hard
And if it lands upon you, it′s bound to leave a scar

Watching the windmills turn
See 'em spinning as they stand
Working all day for another man, another man
