Mama Says

Mama says, Mama says

You were a different man

Mama says, Mama says

Gold dust was in your hands

Mama says, Mama says

You were a different kind

When you smiled, when you smiled

Oh, how she saw the stars

Mama says, Mama says

You had a different mind

You were twice as wise

And just as kind

Oh, how I need you now

Mama says, Mama says

It was a different day

The day you died

When you died

The wind took her star away

Yeah, Mama says, Mama says

There’s a certain kind of pain

When they don’t come back

So please come back

And make her whole again

Won’t you come back?

Won’t you come back?

Please come back

Please come back

Won't you come back?

Won't you come back?

Please come back

Please come back

Mama says, Mama says

There’s a certain kind of pain

When they don’t come back

So please come back

And make our home again
