Mama Don't Come - Robert Francis

I woke in the nighttime

But you awoke first

You got up and got out from a love that had been cursed

And I got a boy, he don’t see much at all

So we both lay there silent staring at holes in the wall

Mama don’t come no more

Mama won’t come no more

He’s holding you tight

Who’d ever wanna let you go?

I’d burn down ever promenade just to find and let you know

But I ain’t done nothin'

I ain’t even found a trace

Of the perfect things we found together

And the dreams I should have chased

Mama don’t come no more

Mama won’t come no more

Can’t sleep, can’t think, can’t cry, can’t scream, can’t lose my mind

The only thing I think about is the one thing I can’t find

My boy he sleeps, he sits, he watches me this way

I know that he can’t hear me but he knows the one thing that I say

Boy, Mama don’t come no more

Mama won’t come no more
