Electric Light Orchestra - Momma lyrics

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 travelled many days A lonely heart that could not find a way (chorus) And she said momma, it's a hard life now you're gone Momma, it's so hard to carry on And i feel 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 morning rider she came wandering 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 (chorus) 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 (chorus)
