Mama's Room

Mama, said you heard me
Singing on your radio
It had to be me
Who else could it be
Singing for you in your lonely room, oh Mama

Mama, are you gonna go and leave me a motherless child
Cause I saw your cast-off coat laid out on the bed
I buried my face and all of my disgrace in it like a child
Sisters' painted up your room
The cupboards are empty
The walls are bare
I look in the mirror
I don't see you there

Mama, I want to thank you for the life and the love that we shared
You gave me a home when I was helpless and alone
You stood by me when no-one else even cared

A shadow falls across the room
Your smile has faded but your eyes
Still lavender blue
My heart is heavy as I go
I can hear the whistle blow

Mama, ooh Mama ooh ooh

Mama, I will keep you in that beautiful place in my mind
I'll see you again around the bend
And I won't forget you when this dream of life comes to an end

Jesus hangs upon a nail on the wall
The wind is howling
The sky is crying that's all
The darkness is so small
For now you stand in the light
You stand in the light
You stand in the light

Mama, ooh, thank you for all of of the good times
And just remember how much I love you
