lyrics

Mamma loves the rain; she loves the way it falls
And washes all the dirt away from the places where it calls
Mamma says that love is like climbing on a cross,
the nails and the wood and the terrible cost
Mamma says the family tree only grew because nobody burnt it down
But they will come around, mamma says
Mamma loves the rain; she loves the way it calls her
to her front room window and writes her name upon the walls
Mamma loves her children but she never tells
what it could be that keeps her on the edge of what is never said
Mamma says the family tree only grew because nobody burnt it down
But they will come around, mamma says
We will rise, though they put out our eyes
We shall see a better world than the one they’ve left behind Don’t be surprised to see your mamma cry
She can only be as happy as her...unhappiest child
