Mama - New Edit

Lyrics

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.
 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."
 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.
 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."
 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...
