Mama He's Gone

Mama He’s Gone
Copyright 2012-Susie Whiting

  Intro:
Mama, when I was a little girl you told me
when I cried I’d feel better after while,
that the tears would wash away the pain inside me
and in a while you would see me smile.

  V1
I sit here in the dark with just one shadow on the wall
The ticking of the clock tells me life doesn’t stop at all.
I play the movie in my mind from beginning to the end
refill my empty glass and then replay it all again.

Bridge:
There’s no more tears inside
They’ve all been cried
and I still can’t smile.

  Chorus:
Oh Mama I’ve tried, I don’t know what to do
I can’t seem to stop my heart from tearing in two.
The tears that I’ve cried, don’t fix what is wrong.
Oh Mama I’e cried. But Mama he’s gone.

Instrumental:

Chorus:

Outcro:
Mama I’ve tried. Mama I’ve cried.
But Mama he’s gone.
