Mama

She came up from the country with her 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

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 sad and lonely life"

A misty morning rider, she came wandering through the hills

A wandering soul appearing over rainy windowsills

A loser in her heart, but in her face

A smile for everyone under God's grace

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"

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

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

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"
