Now the world has turned away

My life gets colder every day

You don't know how it is

I lost all my will to live

You've taken the love I have to give

You don't know how it is

chorus

Thank you Mama, you ease to please again

You know Mama, you take the pain away

Oh it's sad but not so bad

Make me lose the blues I had

Thank you Mama, you ease to please again

Well Sunday comes along with the wind

Every Sunday was spent with him

You don't know how it is

We would watch the flames burn higher

Tell me Mama started to cry

You don't know how it is

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus]

You see my honesty was wrong

'Cause you've known me for so long

Oh you know how it is

Lost and won on down the line

And you always stood behind

Oh you know how it is

[repeat chorus]
