Mama Don't Come
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I woke in the nighttime,
But you awoke first
You got up and got out from a love that had been cursed
And I got a boy, he don't see much at all,
So we both lay there silent staring at holes in the wall
Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
He's holding you tight,
Who'd ever wanna let you go?
I'd burn down ever promenade just to find and let you know
But I ain't done nothin'
I ain't even found a trace,
Of the perfect things we found together
And the dreams I should have chased
Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
Can't sleep, can't think, can't cry, can't scream, can't lose my mind
The only thing I think about is the one thing I can't find,
My boy he sleeps, he sits, he watches me this way
I know that he can't hear me but he knows the one thing that I say,
Boy, Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
