Richard Melvin Brown - Mansion Mountain Prison Lyrics

She would meet in the morning with the softness of her smile
She'd make me toast and coffee and we'd talk awhile
We'd talk about tomorrow all our future plans we made
A big house on mansion mountain and a love that would never fade

It was just a two room walk up with a sofa for a bed
But it was all we really needed if we'd only known back then
Yes I can still remember sharing dreams of days ahead
A big house on mansion mountain and a love that would never end

Now I'm just an inmate in mansion mountain prison
I'm a ward of my own ace of hearts and I'm playing solitaire
This big house on mansion mountain is now my lonely prison cell
And my one and only cellmate is her picture on the wall

You know I never even noticed the hunger in her heart
And how my road from rags to riches was driving us apart
She left me in the morning and I didn't even see
How this big house on mansion mountain had taken her from me

Now I'm just an inmate in mansion mountain prison
I'm a ward of my own ace of hearts and I'm playing solitaire
This big house on mansion mountain is now my lonely prison cell
And my one and only cellmate is her picture on the wall

Now I'm just an inmate in mansion mountain prison
I'm a ward of my own ace of hearts and I'm playing solitaire
This big house on mansion mountain is now my lonely prison cell
And my one and only cellmate is her picture on the wall
And my one and only cellmate is her picture on the wall
