Lyrics Mama You Sweet - Lucinda Williams

Mama You Sweet

I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
With an ocean in my spirit
And cracks on my lips
There’s scars in my heart
And there’s burn on my hips
And ocean becomes heavy
And tries to push its way out
To these ancient eyes
And the memories in my mouth
Ocean becomes tears
Heaven flows
Over the lines in my face
And the pain in my soul
The pain hits a wall
Doesn’t know which way to go
An ocean says I’m crying now
It tells pain to follow
And pain courses through
Every vein, every limb
Trying to find a way out
Between the secrets in my skin
Secrets hold on
Until they finally give in
And they meet up with ocean
And tears again
And tears send me a shovel
To celebrate beneath the crust
That binds earthly skin
And buries all the trust
But somehow trust was caught
Between the cracks on my lips
And there’s scars in my heart
And there’s burn on my hips
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
I love you mama you sweet
