You keep stopping when you could be walking Looking at the pictures on the wall You keep quiet when you should be talking You just don't make any sense at all Remember when you were much younger And you were lying in your bed Among the satin sheets and pillows Your mother there to ease your head Mama Mama I keep having nightmares Mama Mama Mama am I ill? Mama Mama Mama hold me tightly Mama Mama Mama do you love me still? But now it's different you are older There's no one here to hold your hand Your Mama's gone beyond the veil,joan There's no one left who understands Mama Mama I keep having nightmares Mama Mama Mama am I ill? Mama Mama Mama hold me tighter Mama Mama do you love me still? Do you love me? Do you love me? So your left standing in the corner You keep your face turned to the wall A fading dream A fading memory A shooting star that had to fall Mama Mama I keep having nightmares Mama Mama Mama am I ill? Mama Mama Mama hold me tighter Mama Mama do you love me still? Do you love me? Mama Mama do you love me still? Do you love me? Mama Mama do you love me still? Do you love me? Mama?
