I lost all faith in reason
When no reason took a love from me
So I'll ask you my friend
If the stories were pretend
You say "I love you and I always will"
You invented a brand new plan for the seasons
How to turn those leaves of fall green
But death you know it comes and goes,
Ain't a friend or a foe
Just as long as you know
I love you and I always will
But when you leave, I lose control
And I hate to have to even lose control
When you leave I lose control
And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control
It's alright Ma
Christmas eve in the back of a church with a demon
He turns and says to me
"All is well you never fell,
Don't kiss and tell, I swear to hell
I love you and I always will"
But when you leave, I lose control
And I hate to have to even lose control
When you leave I lose control
And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control
It's alright Ma
In a thousand years from now when they find Jesus
In a monument of Elvis Presley
I'll ask in the end
If the stories were pretend you say,
"I love you and I always will"
But when you leave, I lose control
And I hate to have to even lose control
When you leave I lose control
And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control
It's alright Ma
But when you leave, I lose control
And I hate to have to even lose control
When you leave I lose control
And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control
It's alright Ma
