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 travelled 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 wandering 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
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
