Song for the Lost Mamas

This is a song for all the lost mamas,

Holding their babies in the middle of the night.

Wondering who makes the time now,

Who keeps running your mind down.

And where did your old self go.

Some place far far away?

I see pictures on the walls but I don’t recognize her face.

This is a song for all the lost mamas,

Holding our hearts in the middle of the night.

Trying to keep it all together, but it never

Feels quite right.

And where did my old friends go?

Some place I can’t even find.

Seems a million years ago

I was in that state of mind.

It’s like you can sort of see,

The you that used to be,

Like a distant island

Outlined on the edge of the big blue sea.

And you want to get her back,

Fall down on the earth & crack

Into a million tiny pieces

That will slowly rearrange.

But you have changed.

And it’s no use, trying to fight a friendly ghost - just cut her loose.

This is a song for all the lost mamas,

Waking up in the middle of the night

With the voice in your head that says

Am i doing it right, am i doing it right?

And just when you feel like you had it all,

It all slipped out the back door,

To make room for this love, to make space for something more.

To make room for this love, to make space for something more.
