Mama Sail To Me - Amos Lee

Tore our old place down

Building turned from gray to brown

The kids they had to move cross town

Too much rent to pay

Well you took that chance

Knew she gave her hand you downs

All the way to Paris France

Babe I never thought you’d stay

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Across this great wide sea

Now are friends are gone

No more time for coffee shops

Get in high upon rooftops

Things change with other mouths to feed

And this last cigarette

No more time for tears or regret

All your memories just set

My whole damn world on fire

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Across this great wide sea

And that last time you wrote

Picture in your blue pea coat

Always just as sweet as short

Baby I never thought you’d stay

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Oh mama sail to me

Across this great wide sea
