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 You've already served all that you deserved too many lifetimes over And when they called your name You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller And money always flowed from the pockets of your clothes to the hands of another Copper, silver, gold A greater love was sold down the Craigmaddie River He promised you the world You let your hair unfold right down his 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
