A Year Ago Today

A year ago today

I was stood beside you outside the court room

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

For you've already served

All that you deserved, too many lifetimes over

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

And money always flowed

From the pockets of your clothes to the hands of another

Copper, silver, gold

A greater love was sold, down the Craig Matty River

He promised you the world

You let your hair unfold right down his shoulders

He promised you the world

And now that same old world is just getting smaller

Oh, Mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Oh, Mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful who you love

I told you all the time

A year ago today

I was stood beside you outside the court room

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

And I watched as your pride

From your nose and eyes, came out a flowing

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

Oh, Mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Oh, Mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful who you love

I told you all the time

Oh, Mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Mama

Love
