Lyrics Mama Don't Come - Robert Francis

Mama Don't Come

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
