(Missing my) Home by the Sea

by Mother of Order

/

lyrics

I long for our little home by the sea
I’m tired of grey factory air
I miss the blue kiss of salt water
I wish we were young and back there

Take me back
Take me away from the factory
Take me back home to my loom
Take me back
Take me away from the factory
Take me back home to my loom

This life was a life while the mill wheels were turning
When payday would fatten our purse
But now all we do is beg for a morsel
Under America’s curse

Remember morns when our babies awoke us
No buzzer would blow before dawn
We’d work all damn day but we’d work together
Our hands and our hearts at the loom

I wish we’d never left our home by the sea
That we’d make our living there
Instead we are stuck here with cold, sleeping mills
Under grey factory air
