Momma Lyrics - 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 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)
