Mama you got me all untied I’m staring up into the night sky for a sign of something real oh mama i think you know just how I feel
Mama you got me on a wire mama you used to wait up all night long but a taste of what you see is just a glimpse of what we used to be yeah
And I’ve been waiting in the balance for the winds to come but the winds just blow me down And you’ve been standing on the edges of what might have been for far too long now and we’ve been holding onto something that’s been over us since the day that we were born
Mama you used to lay me down I’d spend my nights awake laying in your arms when we’d fool around I’d swear the morning light would never shine down
