Lyrics
Mama, why don't you answer?
Been calling you all day, had some little things to say.
Mama, why don't you answer?
The nights are getting cold and I'm here calling just to check on you.
The candle still shines in your window.
Your pictures on my wall, the one of us I took last fall.
Mama, I hope you remember.
There're so many words I've prayed, I never got to say to you.
Why would every time that they strayed the line
that they all fell down in the middle of the round.
Did I pay my bill? Is this all for real,
or just a sleepy dream that has turned so mean?
Did they hear you cry? Did they feel your sighs?
Now they never come around and they let you down.
Is it asking too much when it's your turn to cry
that the only thing you needed was a lullaby?
Mama, why don't you answer?
Been calling you all day, had some little things to say.
Mama, why don't you answer?
The nights are getting cold and I'm here calling just to check on you.
Why don't you answer?
