Momma - 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 Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone,
Momma, it's so hard to carry on,
And I fell 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 Momma, it's a sad and lonely life.

A misty mornin rider she came wanderin through the hills,
A wanderin 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 Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone,
Momma, it's so hard to carry on,
And I fell 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 Momma, 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 Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone,
Momma, it's so hard to carry on,
And I fell 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 Momma, it's a sad and lonely life.
