Momma, I hear you calling tonight
your old song calling me in for the night
in the tall grass, down from the trees where I climb
when day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pine
I hear your voice calling
by the back door light
it reaches as far as I roam
it’s calling me all the way home
Momma
The darkness is falling so fast
Somehow I thought the day would always last
I’m afraid that I walk alone in life
Following the sound of your voice by the light
Your sweet voice is calling
by the back door light
It reaches as far as I roam
It’s calling me all the way home
It’s calling me all the way home
Calling me all the way home
Momma
The night is so long and so deep
