A Year Ago Today

A year ago today

I was stood beside you outside the courtroom

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed

But I stood taller

For you've already served

All that you've deserved

Too many lifetimes over

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed

But I stood taller

Money always flowed from the pockets of your clothes

To the hands of another

Copper silver gold

A greater love was sold down the Craig Matty River

He promised you the world

You let your hair fall right down to your shoulders

He promised you the world

And now that same old world is just getting smaller

Oh mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Oh mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful who you love

I told you all the time

A year ago today

I was stood beside you outside the courtroom

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed

But I stood taller

And I watched as your pride

From your nose and eyes

Came out a flowing

And when they called your name

You thought I'd be ashamed

But I stood taller

Oh mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Oh mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful who you love

I told you all the time

Oh mama

I told you all the time

Please be careful with your love

I told you all the time

Mama

Love
