Mama Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

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"


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...
