Mama Said (Live at Red Gate Recorders)

Mama said the tears might stick around

Write it down in a song to drown them out

But on days like this I'm thinking of him

And all the loving that I miss, now he's gone

And I know these words can't stop the bleeding

Can't feel the things that lovers feel on my own

Mama said, mama said, mama said

Mama said, mama said, mama said

Let the tears dry on their own

Let them burn my heart no more, ouh

Mama said the tears might stick around

Piece by piece I'm breaking all my vows

But on days like this I'm thinking of him

And all the loving that I miss, now he's gone

Every emotion that I've been through

Can't do the things that lovers do on my own

Mama said, mama said, mama said

Mama said, mama said, mama said

Let the tears dry on their own

Let them burn my heart no more, ouh

Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry

Sing a song, say it's love, say it's alright

Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry

Sing a song no more

Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry

Sing a song, say it's love, say it's alright

Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry

Sing a song no more

Let the tears dry on their own

Let them burn my heart no more, ouh

Mama said the tears might stick around
