Mama (Take 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 travelled many days
A lonely heart that could not find the 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
Life must go on though the end is near
Oh, Mama, it's a sad and lonely life"

Misty mornin' rider, she came wanderin' through the hills
A wanderin' soul appearin' over rainy window sills
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
Life must go on though the end is near
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
She 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
Life must go on though the end is near"

"Oh, Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life
Mama, it's a sad and lonely life"
