The Portrait (肖像) - Amanda McBroom[00:00:00]
There's a picture in a silver frame[00:00:11]
Hanging dusty on my wall [00:00:17]
And two people with their eyes[00:00:22]
The same holding daisies I recall [00:00:28]
And the baby in the sailor dress[00:00:33]
And the pigtails - that was me [00:00:37]
And the other was my mother[00:00:43]
On our Easter by the sea [00:00:49]
People tell me that I'm just like her[00:00:55]
And I wonder what they see [00:01:01]
She was lady lace and cameo [00:01:06]
Not the gypsy that is me [00:01:10]
She spent her evenings making poetry [00:01:16]
I spend my nights making time [00:01:20]
And I wonder [00:01:23]
Am I living partly her dreams [00:01:26]
Partly mine [00:01:30]
What would she think of the too many men[00:01:35]
The lies I get lost in again and again[00:01:39]
The tears in the morning [00:01:44]
The booze and the blues in the night [00:01:47]
It's been years now since I've seen her face [00:01:59]
Heard her footsteps on the stair [00:02:07]
But just lately in my dreams at night [00:02:10]
I will call her and she's there[00:02:14]
Looking pretty like she used to[00:02:19]
Before time and tears tore her apart [00:02:23]
And she tells me that she loves me[00:02:28]
Then she leaves me in the dark [00:02:32]
Mama don't leave me [00:02:39]
Mama don't go [00:02:42]
You know the answers to all I don't know [00:02:44]
My dreams come up empty[00:02:48]
And my hearts lying dead on the floor [00:02:50]
Mama don't leave me [00:02:56]
Mama please stay [00:02:58]
Mama I need you to show me the way [00:03:00]
I'm lost and I'm lonely and[00:03:04]
I can't find my way anymore [00:03:07]
Mama -- Mama[00:03:17]
