Lyrics

Hey now mama say
I say you’re miles away
I wake from sleeping
I’m still dreaming of you

Hey now mama come
It seems we’ve just begun
But I can’t imagine
My world without you

When I miss your kiss
Holding your mother hips
I miss the magic
That I feel in your smile

It seems so far away
It’s just another day
And I’ll be with you
It’s just gonna take a while

Don’t you know it’s gonna be a long time
Wish it didn’t have to be so long

Hey now mama say
You say I'm far away
And can I share what’s
Going on in my heart

Sometimes it seems so real
These things I feel
And you know it’s felt
That way right from the start

And so I make a joke
Or maybe go for a smoke
These things I do so I can
Feel safe around you

Just know you’re not to blame
Don’t want to show you my pain
But I was like this
Long before I met you

Don’t you know it’s gonna be a long time
I wish it didn’t have to be so long

So used to facing this world on my own
So used to life adrift without a home
And you know if I could I would just open my heart to you
But sometimes when I try feels like part of me’s broke in two

Hey now mama say
You love me anyway
Even knowing all that
I struggle to say

Hey now mama true
I don’t know what to do
No one’s ever really
Loved me that way

Sometimes it seems to real
These things I feel
And you know it’s felt that way
Right from the start

It seems so far away
It’s just another day
And I‘ll be with you
I’m gonna show you my heart

Don’t you know it’s gonna be a long time
Wish it didn’t have to be so long
Don’t you know it’s gonna be a long time
Hold on sweet lover hold on
Hey now mama say
I say you’re miles away
I wake from sleeping
I’m still dreaming of you
