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"
