Electric Light Orchestra - Mama Lyrics
She came up from the country with a smile for everyoneShe left her blue horizon just to find another homeA lonely girl who’d traveled many daysA lonely heart that could not find the wayAnd she said, "Momma, it’s a hard life now you’re gone"Momma, it’s so hard to carry onAnd I feel I’m a fool who lost it allYou used to make it all so very clearThat life must go on though the end is nearMomma, it’s a sad and lonely lifeA misty morning rider, she came wanderin' through the hillsA wanderin' soul appearin' over rainy window sillsA loser in her heart but in her faceA smile for everyone under God’s graceAnd she said, "Momma, it’s a hard life now you’re gone"Momma, it’s so hard to carry onAnd I feel I’m a fool who lost it allYou used to make it all so very clearThat life must go on though the end is nearMomma, it’s a sad and lonely lifeAnd she said, "Momma, it’s a hard life now you’re gone"Momma, it’s so hard to carry onAnd I feel I’m a fool who lost it allYou used to make it all so very clearMidnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place?Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her faceA lady lost in nowhere but her stareLeaves the world, her life to start somewhereAnd she said, "Momma, it’s a hard life now you’re gone"Momma, it’s so hard to carry onAnd I feel I’m a fool who lost it allYou used to make it all so very clearThat life must go on though the end is nearMomma, it’s a hard life now you’re goneMomma, it’s so hard to carry onAnd I feel I’m a fool who lost it allYou used to make it all so very clearThat life must go on though the end is near
