Your mama's singing with the angels Let her go, let her go You got no need to feel so guilty Let her go, let her go Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head, before we know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know You wake up feeling she's still with you Let her go, let her go But all you see's an empty room Let her go, let her go Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head, before we know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know You pressed your face against her headstone Offered up a prayer for others like her The trees were bare when mama left us now they bloom and fruit On Sunday morning when the church bells ring And the laundry's flapping in the southern breeze The choir's howling and your mama's saying: Don't take it so hard Don't take it so bad Think of the good times That we had And now you follow in her footsteps Walk the same steps that she walked in Beg of gods both low and mighty that she might return You offer up the words but they just burn your tongue Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head, before we know Set things right before you go Let the people you love know Yes, everyone comes and goes White in the head, before we know Make amends before it gets worse If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first If the heartache don't get you first
