Mama

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She came up from the country with a smile for everyone She left her blue horizon just to find another home A lonely girl who'd traveled many days A lonely heart that could not find a way [Chorus] And she said, "Mama, it's a hard life now you're gone Mama, it's so hard to carry on And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all You used to make it all so very clear That life must go on though the end is near Oh Mama, it's a sad and lonely life." [Verse 2] A misty morning rider she came wandering through the hills A wanderin' soul appearin' over rainy windowsills A loser in her heart, but in her face A smile for everyone under God's grace [Chorus] And she said, "Mama, it's a hard life now you're gone Mama, it's so hard to carry on And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all You used to make it all so very clear That life must go on though the end is near Oh Mama, it's a sad and lonely life." [Instrumental break] [Chorus] And she said, "Mama, it's a hard life now you're gone Mama, it's so hard to carry on And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all You used to make it all so very clear" [Verse 3] Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place? Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face A lady lost in nowhere but her stare Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere [Chorus] And she said, "Mama, it's a hard life now you're gone Mama, it's so hard to carry on And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all You used to make it all so very clear That life must go on though the end is near." "Mama, it's a hard life now you're gone Mama, it's so hard to carry on And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all You used to make it all so very clear That life must go on though the end is near"
